is there anyone in Il using a medical card?

im wondering becasue thats what I have and im wondering how hard it is to get them to pay for the acvtual surgery? im sure its not easy. ive been calling all the Il doctors on the list here some that say they take the madical card on this site really dont asccording to the nurses. Hopefully a few will be calling me back soon.

there are dr who will pay for all like university of Chicago it is about 1 year or more wait. I was at 8 months and there were 39 people ahead of me and they take 4 patients per doctor per month I believe. You have to register with there online account and it is 125.00 which they charge you after the surgery. they charged me before so I called and it was fix! good luck to you if you have the patience and time you can do it this way I was with u of c...... Cori center closed..... SIU Springfield off and on 3 years and I just got a letter saying I can meet with the surgeon in the second week of may good thing I am already done!!! I tried barix was put on a waiting list because they were trying to get public aid and then they closed as well. Tried dr oliphant miss spelled and was told they only take medicaid from 3 area codes which was not mine? you should also try Kentucky and st Louis area dr as well!! keep me posted i am off to bed one week appointment tomorrow!!! will let ya know how it goes actually it is my 10 day but I can't wait to get on the scale it will be from 6 weeks since I was there last !!! to me my face looks not as puffy
