Question:
Does anyone have Wellcare/Medicare?

It is different than Medicaid/Wellcare. I was told that any doctor that took Medicare would take Wellcare. Wrong!!! I can't find any doctor in the Atlanta, GA area. I have all my clearances and now I am in a limbo.    — jberry1417 (posted on March 13, 2009)

Hi, Call the ins.company and they can give you a list of Dr.s that will take your ins. Also, the area hospitals should be of help. Here in Florida the Dr & hospital have to be a Hospital of Excellance. Which means they have to of done a large (I forgot the number) of successful surgeries. My sister in law had to do this in Florida. The closest Dr to her was more than 50 miles away. She did well with everything once she found the Dr. Best of luck in your journey.

I have a friend from SC that used Dr. Strickland that Julia mentioned. My frined speaks very highly of him. Don't give up. Use the internet and this website to find a Dr. who will take Wellcare, They were my RXs coverage last yr and dropped me in Dec for no reason. I was glad, because they did not cover some of my arthritic meds. Good luck.

I live in Florida and have Medicare/Wellcare (not medicaid). I only found one doctor in this state that takes my Wellcare - plenty that takes just plain Medicare. I have to drive over 2 hours one way and then back - 4-5 hour trip depending on traffic. it's the only way, but hey, if you have to drive a bit, it will be worth it in the long run.
