Question:
Has anyone out there had their surgery covered by IL Medicaid?

I am on IL Medicaid and need this surgery done. I have diabetes and very high cholestrol. I have a letter from my reg. doc recommending that I get this done, but I can't find any doctors or hospitals that accept the medicaid card for this procedure.    — Barbara K. (posted on September 9, 2002)

i have a friend that had surgery at University of Chicago by a very skilled surgeon using medicaid as payment. Hope this helps.
