MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

 

 

Hello Members,

 

 

On a daily basis we get calls from members in desperate need of surgeons that will accept Medicaid and or Medicare for Bariatric surgery.  It breaks our hearts when we have to say "we don't know of any surgeons in your state we can refer you to". 

Can you please help us? If you know of any surgeons in your state that accepts Medicaid and or Medicare, will you list their:

Name

If they accept Medicare and or Medcaid

Phone number

Facility

Address

This list will remain here for our members to access and use.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi Everyone,

I have my firs simnar on Dec 5th 2012. I have DC medicaid. I was wondering what were the requirements for this. One place I saw, they stated I would have to do a year of nutrition. is this true? I also see that certain people have different kinds of medicaid.   Please any information on this would be helpful. I will be going through Dr. Rickford at providence hospital.

I was having the same problem try doctor Paul Lin @ George Washington University Hospital his number is 202-741-303 and if you are going to go with him he has a consult day for his new patients on the 18th of December but you have to be registered and the way to register is to call.
