Question:
Has anyone heard anything about having been approved while on AHCCCS?

AHCCCS is Arizona's welfare healthcare. Has anyone had surgery when on this insurance? My brother is on it and he really needs the surgery. We have to wait a year for disability to kick in. And his kidney's are going fast. Please help! Lisa    — Lisa J. (posted on May 27, 2000)

I am in az and I know two people were given a bypass surgery by access. I don't know how but I know one in the hospital right now and she was under 400 with no other health probs. There is a place on the web that will help get it but I am still looking my mom will be talking to this patient if possible to get the info and I will be passing it on. I do know it will help if you start going to the doctor complaining of pain ect. real stuff but blow it out of proportion to a small extent. I have apena and am going in for surgery soon but mine has littel to do with being fat mine is exces bone in the nasels and overly larg tonsils. I do have type diabeties and can not stand more than 5 -10 min and can not walk more that 20 min. start deluging doctor with complaints. this will save time as soon as I learn more I will post!
