4 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 4th Anniversary SMILES67!

Yes. The hospital was going to be reimbursed very little from Medicaid so Dr. Gilman is no longer able to accept it.
I think the next closest doctor accepting Medicaid is now at Mercy Hospital in Chicago.

Hi how are you doing? I was told the other day that Dr. Gilman isn't taking Medicaid? Do you know anything about that?
-
Hi, I am new on here and have so many questions for so many. I found your post where you were going to be banded at Mercy? Can you tell me more and as much as possible? I would greatly appreciate it. I have posted on here and unable to find anything really, so I don't know if would help to give you my regular email, it is lonsum2@yahoo.com or if not I will hopefully find it if you are able to return my message. Thanks for your time.

Lap Band in Central Illinois
SMILES67 replied to sadie77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Does DayOne accept the Illinois Medicaid Card? I have been in contact with Dr. Gilmans office and they told me they will no longer accept the IPA, do you still go to the office for follow-up. Maybe see if I miss understood? And if anyone knows of anyone else. I live south of Danville by about 20 miles and don't have much for travel means so it is too difficult to get to chicago area. If anyone can help I would be forever greatful. -
Central Illinois Peoria-Bloomington Area
SMILES67 replied to Kristin1031's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, I only have popped in a few times on this site so I don't know much about how all of this works. I hope I am doing ok writing in this spot. I need some serious help. I have been trying to get this done for a long time. I currently have IPA (Illinois Medical Card) and can not find a doctor that will accept it. Does anyone have any info that could help me. I did have a doc set in Decatur and now that they have started scheduling they say they cannot take my medical card. PLEASE if anyone knows anything??? -
I'm not sure how to post this agan. I made one post about locating a doctor in Illinois that accepts the Illinois Medicaid Card and got a great list of Chicago area doctors, Thanks so much. I was wondering if anyone would have a list of doctors in the Central or Southern part of Illinois. Any and all help would be very valuable. I reached beyond desparation awhile back. Thank you for your time.

Illinois Medicaid And Lap Band Surgery
SMILES67 replied to SMILES67's topic in Insurance & Financing
I recieved some valueable information on doctors in the Chicago area that accepts the Illinois Medicaid Card (IPA). Thank you so very much. I was wondering if anyone would have information on doctors in the Central or Southern part of Illinois that also accepts the IPA card. Anything at all would help me tremendously at this point. Your time and information is very valuable to me and I could never thank you enough. -
I need help finding a doctor that will take the IPA. I know it approves it but the only one I could find had to put me on a waiting list and can't get me in until July 2009. Please help I have other medical troubles that are stopping from alot of things and feel this surgery will help alot of those problems. I have thought long and hard about making this decision and feel this is the only thing left I can do. Please help. Thank you so much for any and all info. :help:
