Turns out I have Medicaid/Medipass.. I was told Dr. Murr accepts this insurance and am planning on attending the Seminar on the 28th. I still haven't found a PCP that is WLS friendly.. Help?? Anyone??

Congrats on your decision to have WLS. You don't need a specific kind of PCP, just one that you are comfortable with. Florida Medicaid/Medipass only require a 6mths weigh-ins  with a physician. You won't need a referral or anything from your PCP just 6mths of  weigh-ins. Unless you where looking for a WLS friendly PCP for your own reasons. Florida Medicaid/Medipass are one of the easiest to get an approval from. 

 

Good Luck on your  journey

Thanks for your input.. Do they require I see a nutritionist and psychologist too? I keep reading so many different requirements..

No. It depends on the surgeon.
