Hoping that someone knows a doctor that will accept medcaid in the greater chicagoland area!!!

I was told that Illinois state medical card will cover the procedure but need help finding a doctor that accepts the card.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give!!

Thank you TammyJ

I talked to Dr. Bonomo and am going to the orientation at Mercy Hospital next week!!! I'll let you know how it goes. How long did it take from your consult to surgery date?

I went to the seminar on Nov. 21st, had my first appt. w/ Dr. Bonomo on Dec. 26th, my surgery is scheduled for March 15th. The whole process does take a little time, but one you get started it goes by really fast. Good Luck to you and let me know how everything goes.

Dr. Alexander Nagle at Northwestern University Hospital take Medicaid. I have went to the seminar and met with Dr. Nagle and the nutritionist last week. Meet with the psychiatrist next week. The Dr. says that I should be approved by April. Supposedly, Medicaid processes their paperwork quicker than other insurances.

Let me know when the surgery is approved. I would like to do it as well. I have Illinois Medicaid.

hello new to this site. im from chicago area also and im so excited to see that i just might have a chance at life again..l i lost my job a while back and my health is just getting worse and all due to my weight..to hear the medical card would be honnored for this is the best news i heard in a long time now i just need to see how to get the ball rolling..

I am going to my last appointment with Dr. Nagle on April 15th. He told me that after the last appointment it should take two weeks to get the surgery approved. Hopefully I will be having my surgery in May.
