Try Dr. Sadek @ 732-640-5327 .  He may accept that insurance.  Good Luck!

yes, i called dr Sadek office and they stated that they do not accept medicaid anymore. but i am still looking around for a surgeon

Hopefully, i have some good news, I have found 2 surgeons who accepts medicaid. there name are dr Jeffery W. Strain and Dr Franklyn Vasquez and they are located in the northern nj area. I have already talk to Dr. Franklyn Vasquez receptionist and she told me that i must attend a seminar on august 20th 2013. So i am going to call Dr Jeffery Strain office to see what they have to say.  Did anybody knows about these 2 surgeons?  Need information

I believe Drs. Bertha and Adkin of Florham Park take medicaid.

Thanks, but i have found a surgeon who accepts Medicaid, the doctor name is Dr. Strain out of Englewood NJ. I have my first appt with him on 8/7/2013. the reason why the appt is for next month because i am changing HMO's. I just fax over my whole entire medical documents to the medical staff and hopefully i will get a answer by the end of the month.  I will keep yall updated .

Just wanted to let you know That Dr Abkin does Not Participate with Medicaid.  I am a patient of his and also work in the office so I know that we don't.

Thanks Pat.  I was not sure.  I thought they did at one time.

Glad you were able to find someone!! Good Luck with everything.

Hi. New to the boards.. Just wanted to find out if, if anyone has had success in appealing UHC Choice of NJ. Even though my dh's employer told me i could appeal. I have been doing this since (doc visits-t ectra last year)- due to Hurricane Sandy i was misplaced and had to start all over paperwise.

I am waiting for another denial letter the first one i did not get due to Hurricane Sandy so, with that do  also send it out to my dh employer with some info on Obesity even tho i have done that. and HER answer was to appeal it. So i want toot know what people out there are thinking and any advice greatly appreciated. I also contacted Lindstorm  to see if they can help.

Thanks!
