Hello Members,

On a daily basis we get calls from members in desperate need of surgeons that will accept Medicaid and or Medicare for Bariatric surgery.  It breaks our hearts when we have to say "we don't know of any surgeons in your state we can refer you to".  Can you please help us? If you know of any surgeons in your state that accepts Medicaid and or Medicare, will you list their:

Name

If they accept Medicare and or Medicaid

Phone number

Facility

Address

This list will remain here for our members to access and use. Thank you so much!!! ObesityHelp,

Member Services

True; however, it is also a medical insurancee program for those on public assistance (aid).  Not being from CA means that we (Californians) will have to cut you some slack...

I realize that you've posted this a long time ago, but were you able to have your VSG done through Medi-Cal?
