Medicaid Louisiana Doctors That Are Suboxone Licensed
(Newest replies first)

I had been on Suboxone for almost 8 years. In my opinion it is a wonder drug compared to all the opiates that the pain clinics are all too willing to prescribe .I have been out of my Suboxone for a week & a half. I feel like I am dying. I can not sleep. I have a 5 month old new baby boy. I can hardly pick him up due to the pain that I am in. I hurt all over. i have been so nauseated. My doctor who 's visits were cash bases only, however medicaid would take care of the actual prescription of 60, 8 mg. At one time I WAS PRESCRIBED 4, 8 MG SUBS A DAY. i WOULD KILL JUST TO HAVE A QUARTER RIGHT NOW TO FEEL LIKE NORMAL AGAIN. My doctor decided that he no longer wants to deal with any one with medicaid due to the fact that his office does not "LIKE TO HANDLE PRIOR AUTHORIZATIONS " REALLY ......SO I am guessing that he really never gave a s*** about his patients at all because this is a horrible feeling. I would never wish this feeling on anyone. I really need to find a doctor in LOUISIANA south, that will prescribe this medication. Can you please help me?

1st you have the limited view of someone who stereotypes due to geography which clearly states you've never been anywhere. 2nd you don't have the comprehension skills to realize this forum is about Suboxone and Medicaid. And lastly here's valuable advice: It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.

Re: Kaypen (# 227)

I sadly can relate to what you are going through. I have been there in your exact situation many times. It hasn't always been so easily accessible for people in Louisiana seeking Suboxone treatment. I, for many years had to pay out of pocket for my visit & medication and I don't mean co-pays, I was paying $300 for the visit and then paying full price at the pharmacy. Thankfully, I no longer take Suboxone. It's going on 2 years now that I've been free from those chains. However, I still look out for people who are having a hard time finding a Suboxone program who accept Medicaid. Have you tried using Teledoc? They have them and from what I've read, it's a cheaper, quicker option and the Doctor will call in your medication at your local pharmacy. Very convenient.

I'm not quite sure or familiar with Texas Suboxone Programs. Only Louisiana. Although, I'm sure it's similar.

Re: Kf3355705 (# 224)

The blue are states they accept and gray they do not.., go on QuickMD website and they have a line that says these are the dates that allow and then they list the states.. I was hoping what I copied showed all of it.. something has to change for us that need this medication finding drs that accept insurance, especially Medicaid. It’s ridiculous they charge so much money then hopefully Medicaid will at least pay for it I don’t know..it has been a nightmare for me. The town I live in only has 2 drs and no insurance no Medicaid but like 400 a visit and treat you like you trash. Things have to change so people can get this medication.

Re: Kf3355705 (# 225)

I’m so sorry that happened to you!! I moved to Lubbock from Denton tax and I have to drive every few months to see my suboxone dr. They have 2 here and will not accept insurance and it’s ridiculous. That medication was a life saver for me. Things have to change seems nobody cares about getting a much needed medication. I remember calling everywhere and they treat you like your nothing to them. I want to or wish to start with Dr’s even PA’s can prescribe suboxone. They need to take Medicaid or insurance. The cost is beyond ridiculous. I finally got lucky but he’s 6 hours away. I do telemedicine every month. But have to visit every few months. Things have to change and the stigma of this medication. It prevents you from getting high even if you wanted... I wish healthcare cared more. You are in my prayers. I would call your card for stop payment or harass them everyday until you get your money back that’s shady.

Re: Kaypen (# 221)

I believe it's a self-pay option only. No insurance accepted, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I'm from Louisiana and the system allowed me to complete the entire scheduling & payment process and even received a confirmation email. I started reading more details after completing the process for Doctor visit and that is when I learned they do not accept Louisiana patients. Also, I had to contact them for a refund. They did not contact me or even automatically refund my payment. I thought it was very strange that the system allowed me to complete the entire registration and ultimately payment process when they don't serve Louisiana.

Re: Kf3355705 (# 219)

You're right, they have a list of states that they don’t serve suboxone I just checked. Most states they do but Louisiana they do not. It’s on their website click on the addiction box and it will pull up what states allow them to do this.

Re: Kf3355705 (# 219)

Are you saying they accept every state but Louisiana? Or that they do not accept Medicaid or any insurance? That’s crazy I did this past summer and I’m from Texas. And have gotten my prescription from same doctor same pharmacy and they do check. Sorry I figured they would do any state. Wonder if certain states don’t allow it? I’m sorry

Re: Katpen (# 215)

Now, for anyone who may need to know before wasting your time with QuickMD, they DO NOT accept patients from Louisiana. Just thought I'd share that piece of information with y'all.

Re: matty (# 217)

QuickMD telemedicine for suboxone but doesn’t take any insurance. It is 99 bucks that is pretty good compared to other doctors. I have taken it for years doctor went out of town and I live in Texas they are from California. If you have been on suboxone they will look at your records and within 20 minutes you will have your meds. Sorry doesn’t take Any insurance but I know I would borrow the money or something. I honestly don’t think any telemedicine takes insurance for suboxone and I am not aware of any but QuickMD and I spent all day looking.
