Help Finding A Doctor

Thread Starter  

I am on Medicare and it seems that doctors in Dallas are no longer taking Medicare because they are not getting paid. I was scheduled with Dr Benivedes and as of Sept 1st he will no longer take Medicare. I have a psyc eval tomorrow and no doctor. Any help would be great as I am very frustrated. Thanks!

Medicare is of no help. I think I may have found someone who will work but don't want to jinx it. I'll keep all posted.

Dr. Hagood of Southwest General Surgical Associates did the LAP-BAND^® procedure for a friend that was on Medicare in June 2005. Dr. Anderson, who did my LAP-BAND^® procedure is also in that practice, so I suspect he takes Medicare as well. Dr. Hagood and Anderson's offices are located at Presbytarian Hospital in Dallas.

FYI... Medicare patients must have the LAP-BAND^® procedure preformed at a hospital rather than a surgical center and Medicare requires and overnight stay.

Hope this helps!
