Brenda, I can't say for certain that Dr.Allen accepts Medicare but I initially contacted his office for WLS info and after submitting my paperwork,I was scheduled to see his partner,Dr. Robert Cacchione.I am VERY satisfied with Dr. Cacchione's work ths far.I am now 10 weeks post op Lap RnY with my last weigh in at - 60 lbs on March 25th! I don't have a home scale so I don't know where my weight loss is currently LOL :) I have BOTH MEDICARE and MEDICAID, and my surgery was approved by both almost immediately.Medicare is my primary and whatever it doesn't cover,Medicaid picks up.Call the office Monday to find out for sure if you haven't had your 1st consult yet, you could ask them then. I hope this helps you, good luck and blessings to you on your journey. Julie
