MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

My surgery date is scheduled for the third of August and it will be done at St Francis in Tulsa by
Dr. Kevin Fisher from Surgical Associates and they take medicare and FED Blue Cross and Blue Shield also the first three fills are free and then $200.00 each after that I do not know if Medicare will pay for that but my FED BCBS will cover it. hope that helps

In Tulsa Surgical Associates...I used Dr. Kevin fisher and feel he is great - I recently saw him and was told they will be moving their group to Bailey hospital in Owasso (where Gorospe used to be) but they will still have their current location also.

I think the move to Owasso is a good thing - this way the nursing staff will be familiar  with wls  - St. Francis had some nurses trained and then others weren't it was more a make sure you know what your suppose to do so you didn't get messed up, when I was at St. Francis/

was there a long wait to get the surgury schedualed with Dr. Fisher?

I contacted soonercare today and I was told the only doctor's that accept Soonercare are Dr. Keith (405-360-7100), Dr. Alana Nelson (735-2049) both are in Norman OK. Also a Dr in OKC, I wasn't quick enough for the name but his number is 232-4211. I hope this helps.

Once they have your insurance approval the wait is not very long.   I think mine was about 3 weeks.  Not too bad since you need 2 weeks for the pre-op liquid diet.
