Hey any New Jersey,ens lol

Did anyone here have Medicaid with their wls?

Did anyone here have Medicaid with their wls?

I work with NJ Medicaid daily...over 80% of my patients are on NJ medicaid....(also New York)

New Jersey medicaid has gone over to contracting out with 4 major Insurance providers...... United (Formerly Americhoice), Amerigroup, Horizon NJ Health, and either Qualcare or Healthfirst.....(can't recall because it's the one of the 4 we don't work with with)

Very rarely do you find anyone who is still enrolled in what was once considered "Traditional Medicaid" unless you are in a long term, residential state run facility or a group home.

Each of these different providers have slightly different policies, and you can do your research and find which of the 4 best suits your personal needs, in this case WLS....

You can also change from one provider to another, but it is not immediate to your request, and you do have to justify why...again, WLS.

Also, if any of the HMO's do not meet your medical needs, you can complain to the State of NJ...
