No, I don't and I don't think it would matter either. The offices I called now say they are not accepting new patients at all. I will call again in June to check the status of things.

I finished all of the Medicaid requirements for surgery, and then the surgeon I was going to see stopped taking Medicaid. The only other doctors who accept medicaid won't see anyone outside Covington/NOLA or Thibodeaux. All Medicaid suggests is calling general surgeons and asking if they do bariatrics as well. I'm devastated and desperate. What can I do? I have no money or credit for self pay. Has anyone seen Dr. Dominguez recently who can plead my case? Should I move to NOLA temporarily? Should I call every day? What can I do? It's just not fair that I'm this close. Does anyone know if other states accept Louisiana Medicaid? They said it doesn't travel but I believe nearby states would accept it. It's United Healthcare Community Plan by the way I think I wrote this in the wrong section earlier.
