Doctor in Monmouth County NJ that takes Medicaid/Horizon NJ Family

[ajayb19 12]

I have been desperately looking for a doctor in Monmouth County that accepts Medicaid or Horizon NJ FamilyCare. I found a doctor in Livingston, NJ but that is like a 2hr. drive in rush hour for me and I just can't imagine I will be able to make that trip for several appts. let alone if I need to make weekly trips to get me fills. I called all the local hospitals to see which doctors were associated with them, I also called my insurance company but their list of doctors was not right. Anyone who knows of any doctors in the area I would love a little help. My current appt. in Livingston is scheduled for July 5th. So I have until then I suppose to find a better/closer fit.

I'm not sure if my doctor does, but it's worth a shot! It's Dr. Kipnis and he is in Neptune, NJ right down the road from Jersey Shore hospital. He has been awesome!!! 732-775-5005...worth calling and asking because his office staff and him are excellent! I have Atena insurance.

Thanks! I Actually saw his name listed by someone else and called him earlier. they don't actually take my insurance. I was so wishing they did. I hate that I have to take this drive. Thanks anyway though, I appreciate your reply!

I use Dr. Samuel Wasser in Moorestown...on the border by Mt. Laurel. Take 295 South to the exit for Route 38. His office is right by the exit. I have Horizon NJ Direct Access.

Hope this helps!

I'm almost positive Dr. Karl Strom with monmouth bariatrics takes almost every insurance. He has offices in holmdel which is central ( that's where I'm going ) he has offices at bay shore hospital. Check it out, good luck !

Monmouth County.....I use Central Jersey Bariatrics at Centre State Hospital in Freehold....they also have a office near Bayshore Hospital in Keyport.....

Is you Horizon NJ Health your Medicaid ***? In other words you are 100% Medicaid with no other primary....I would definitely give them a call...

Thanks everyone! @skinnyboundsky I actually had my seminar with Dr. Strom. He was really nice and answered all my questions, but no they don't accept my insurance either. @B-52 I actually have Horizon BCBS Familycare is the *** Primary, Medicaid is the provider I guess they call it. I have pretty much given up on my search for a local doctor at this point, so I am just going to keep my appt. in West orange. They are a center of Excellence and they seem nice enough. I just dread the drive on any regular basis.
