Medicaid..

[Guest guest]

Hi ..

As you know, I also have medicaid and am in the same position as you.. I

have emailed Dr R to see if there were any Drs he would suggest and he said

that there was a group in Greenville.. I will be calling them tomorrow..

Please don't be mad or upset with Dr R as this was NOT his decision.. I

called after I had found out and was told that Durham Regional is having

financial difficulties and has asked Dr to stop taking medicaid, medicare

and vocational rehab patients.. I can understand Dr R's dilema as he has no

control over this.. I hope this helps.. If you would like me to relay what I

find out tomorrow, just let me know and I will either email or talk to you

on AOLIM... HUGZ!!!!! WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!

In my thoughts and prayers,

Terri

I missed the posting on this subject , my computer has been on the blink...I

know I will get some flack from the group, but oh well...this does concern

me, for several reasons, such as, I have been searching this surgery for 8

months, and

i have just been approved for disability and i have just recieved

medacaid...I have just in the last 2 months e-mailed Dr. Rutledge and Debbie

(personally)

and was told that ( they do indeed take medacaid,) and they gave me step my

step

instructions on what to do to get the ball rolling. I have been working real

hard in trying to find a doctor to support this surgery. I have copied the

manuel and giving it to different doctors, and have had my blood work and

other tests done. I do not think that it is fair to just stop taking

medacaid

patients without a notice...shoot, I will speak my mind... it just seems

like

now that business is picking up, that the doctor does not ( need ) his

medacaid

patients anymore... if this surgery was truly about caring about others, and

not about the money,, then this would not be an issue....medacaid was not a

problem before the business got busy,,,so why is it now ??? I was told 2

months ago that medacaid would pay for this surgery by the doctor

himself...and was told what i needed to do, and what paperwork to send

in...I

think it is very rude, selfish and cold hearted to do this to another human

being......i do not see anything caring, trusting or supportive in someone,

who could shatter someones dreams and hopes, by denying them surgery because

of some insurance that they were taking at one time, but decided in a split

second to stop taking, is this really about caring about people or is it

about success and money????? michelle
