Question:
Can someone please tell me if they know of a dr that takes MC+ (Missouri Medicaid).

I have looked everywhere for a doctor that accepts MC+ and all of the doors just get closed in my face. Can someone please help me. I just don't know what else to do. My BMI is 46.    — Christi K. (posted on September 17, 2002)

Christi,I don't know if any of the doctors with the New Start program accept MC+, but if you search "South Pointe Hospital" (St. Louis) their site gives details and numbers for the New Start program. I don't have their number at hand, sorry. I have a friend who had medicaid and her surgeon was in St. Louis also.(not with New Start) I will try to contact her and find out who he was. Good luck-Angie (from C'ville)
