Question: Do you accept Advicare Medicaid?

Answer: Thanks for reaching out to us.  We only recently heard of Advicare and have not been approached to contract with them.  I’ve tried calling them and haven’t received a response to my inquiry yet.  I’ve also asked them if they can tell us who is currently within their network that might perform the types of breast reconstruction surgeries that we do and can’t seem to get them to give me a list, they just tell me to have the member call in to inquire.   I am hoping to get a call back from one of their representatives very soon in the hope that I might be able to give some good alternatives to ladies who’ve contacted us.  I will be certain to keep on my list to contact as soon as I know something more. Thanks again!

Ask The Doctor-Will you give me your second opinion on insurance coverage?

This week, Gail Lanter, CPC, of The Center for Natural Breast Reconstruction answers your question.

Question: Do you accept BCBS insurance from Ga? I had a double mastectomy a year ago and breast implant reconstruction. I’ve had to have both taken out their weeks apart due to one being infected and one implant exposed. I would like a second opinion on where to go from here.

Answer: I’d have to see your card and check your plan to be completely certain, but we do participate within the Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Card Nationwide Network.  Does your card have a little suitcase on the bottom corner that looks like the one below?
