Thank God for this web site!  I called EVERY number that I could find that offered the lap band surgery and I could not find any one that would take medicaid.  The only place that will take medicaid is Tulane Medical Center. The office number is 504-988-5301.  Their fax number is 1-504-988-5301.  You have to have your primary care dr. send them a medicaid refferal before a appointment can be made.  So have the refferal sent then call. 

The other Dr's that people wrote about on here no longer take medicaid.  Osner in New Orleans will take it as a 2nd insurance.  I'm going to call the medicaid number tomorrow and give them their number so when people call they will be pointed in the right direction.  They are the ONLY place in Louisiana that will take medicaid for the Lap Band surgery.

Just received my Medicaid and need to pick a plan. Just wondering if anyone knows which plan will pay for bariatric surgery.
