I COULDNT FIND ANY INFORMATION ON GEORGIA AMERIGROUP MEDICAID EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT PEACHSTATE WHICH IS GREAT BUT I HAVE AMERIGROUP AND NEEDED THAT INFORMATION TO HELP ME ALONG THE WAY.
Amerigroup stinks..NJ MEDICAID STINKS..doctors are NOT compassionate...its all about the money for 99.9% of them...I also have Amerigroup and live in Central NJ and cannot find a surgeon for bariatric. I have decided to take this step because i have diabetes.Type 1..on humolog every meal and 40 units of lantus at night..depression and hypothyroidism..I NEED to lose the weight and I cannot lose ...
So I chose amerigroup. So come January when Dr. Umbach's office was updating everyone's file then said Amerigroup's criteria is different: 2-3 years supervised medical weight loss. I still have medicaid. Why the different criteria?? I had 2 more visits to go to meet the 6 month requirement. I am physically ill hearing about this. Any suggestions???
The big question is: Has anyone here had Bariatric done on Texas Amerigroup and were you referred by a Endocrinolist, or Primary care Dr? Will I qualify with my Endocrinoligists backing alone?
I have a niece who has Amerigroup Medicaid who was using a doctor in Tyler and he dropped coverage as of this year. The closest bariatric surgeon to the DFW area is in San Antonio. My niece had already gone through lots with the other surgeon but she is now changing doctors. She is going on Feb. 4th to see the doctor in San Antonio.
