Title: GCS and Medicaid
Post by: Nianyan on April 06, 2018, 03:58:22 PM
Hi everyone, I'm looking for more information about getting GCS (MTF) with Washington apple health (medicaid).  I've been trying to find surgeons but I'm not sure where to start looking and whether I have to stay in Washington or if I can go to any surgeon that takes medicaid.  If anyone can point me in the right direction or has any information on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.  Thanks

If you have both your psyche letters plus from physician  you can schedule an consultation  with dr Stiller
He is the in-house surgeon from Washington state girls. Or if you can wait years dr dugi in Portland.

Dr Geoffrey Stiller? Dr Lisa Stiller?  I'm going to need a bit more information, maybe a website so I can contact them or a phone number?  Thanks for the quick response

Yes Geoffrey Stiller
Is this your first time hearing of him ? Have you asked your primary who is the in-house grs surgeon ? If yes don't feel bad I asked and got the run around and took it upon myself to investigate.

Yea its my first time hearing of him, I don't have a PCP, just my endocrinologist.  He told me to find a surgeon first and then we'd do the paperwork, so I haven't got the slightest idea on any surgeons or anything.
