I am on SSI and receive Medicaid. I am needing to have weight loss surgery and the only insurance I have is Medicaid. Does anyone know if there are doctors in the Dallas/fort worth or even east texas area that will accept Medicaid for the gastric bypass surgery? Or are there doctors who donate the services for free on occasion?
Try Parkland Hospital Weight Loss Program. Parkland does take Medicaid. You have to meet certain criteria. It may take a while to get in and I think JPS has a program also. Methodist Medical Center has a weight loss program (I don’t know what it takes but the hospital itself takes Medicaid) Also, try your PCP, that would be a good place to start. I had Medicare and I had surgery 4-16-08. So good luck on your journey…
I don’t know but if u know about a doctor that do it 4 free let me know because,i have health insurance from work and it doesn’t cover and i call 2 do it self pay and it cost $26 gran.
It’s very expensive so i decide it to 4get about it.
good luck if u have the gastric bypass.
take care bye
I don’t know about texas but in california, I believe that medi-cal will cover it if a person has enough comorbidities
