can't help you with those places, but UAMS in Little Rock does take Medicare. That's where I had my surgery done. Also, I believe. LIVLITE (Dr. King) in Oxford Mississippi takes Medicare. Hope this helps.

Drs. Scott and de la Torre in St. Louis/St. Charles, MO do not accept Medicare Assignment for bariatric surgery. They are a Medicare provider, but because Medicare will not do a pre-approval for the surgery there is too great a risk the claim will be turned down. The hospital will not accept Medicare Assignment.
