I'm new to FL ~ moved here from NC last week.  :)

Hi Christy,

I called their office and they said they are not taking any patients until June but that is fine.  They told me that my medicaid must be active at the time of going to them which means that the share of cost has to be met for that month and my medicaid has to be active.  Then after that month they share of cost needs to be met again for me to have medicaid the next month.  I dont know any doctors that accept share of cost so I would go to them monthly for a check up and they charge me the 247 that would put me on medicaid for the month.  Not sure if what I am saying makes sense but that is my problem right now.  Also, are you getting VSG or lap band or Gastric?  I am intrested in the VSG.

 Hey the dr Emil matei takes medicaid hmo Im not sure which one exactly 954 967 0935 good luck

Dr Robert Marema is my rny srugeon and he also does bands.  I'm on the Empire Plan for NYS employees.  It has been accepted since 2009 without any issues.  You might find you have coverage until you get your FL insurance.
