I need help about Mississippi medicaid.

My brother recently went to the Dr. and found he had many medical problems such as high blood pressure and a heart condition. He was right away put on disability. He isn't eligible for medicare until he's been disabled for 2 years. He couldn't afford to keep the cobra so he is on medicaid right now. His dr. told him that this surgery would benefit him very much but we can't find a Dr. that accepts medicaid plus he's 62 years old. Somebody please help me. My e-mail is [email protected] Thanks, Margo

I am not familiar with the Dr's in your area but your best bet is to have him get a directory from medicaid for general surgeons and start calling. He is up there but not out of reach for this surgery yet. Also have him call Medicaid and ask, the people that wotk those lines may know as well, good luck in your search.
