And my doctor of choice is Dr. Yvan Ducheine

They both take Horizon NJ Health and maybe other medicaid

I was wondering, did you have a hard time getting your doctor to approve you for the surgery?

 Hi.  Does he take Plan G Medicaid?

hello I am new in this only quierosaber if somebody knows that some doctor accepts the insurance of Americhoice please to send numbers of telephone of doctore thanks

Call Americhoice, they should be able to give you a list of doctors that accept Americhoice.  Some surgeons are listed as Bariatric surgeons with the insurance company, others are listed as general surgeons first (since bariatric is a subspecialty).  Just be aware that there may be no doctors near you that accept the insurance you may have to travel.

For example near me the nearest doctors that accept my insurance are 45 minutes to 1hr 15 minutes away.
