I'm looking for surgeons in NC that accept Medicaid as a primary. I was referred last week by my new PCP, that I have a LIST of pre existing conditions caused by my weight . Three of the programs I've looked into only accepted Medicaid as a secondary insurance. Recently I started a new job the pay isn't all that great and insurance takes effective, once I'm employed 90 days. The premiums alone are over half of my pay check. So now I have to look for a program that accepts my primary insurance (Medicaid) , to start the process all INFO is greatly appreciated. I am willing to travel as well as long as its in the state of NC. Medicaid does cover bariatrics in NC my PCP is willing to request that WLS is medically necessary. However not all surgeons or programs except my insurance as a primary.
