Medicare doctor in KS or MO?

[PattiCakes 0]

Does anyone know how I can find out what surgeons I can use in Missouri or Kansas that are Medicare certified centers for excellence? I found the site for hospital listings, but not one for physicians.

Thanks!

I dont know about all the docs in the area that are Medicare/COE approved, but I do know that Dr. Hoehn and and Dr. Hitchcock at SMMC are approved for Medicare and COE.

If you call the hospital you can ask them who is authorized to do bariatric surgery at their hospital. Call them and see if they take Medicare. Is this the list you were looking at?
