10 weeks no insurance?

I'll be 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow and still haven't seen a doctor. I've been waiting on news from Medicaid for 5 weeks. I don't remember it taking this long with any of my other pregnancies! I can't even make an appointment right now without an insurance number! Anyone else have difficulties getting Medicaid?

I mean if you need medicade and you qualify for it keep insisting don't stop calling they take a few weeks but you should have an answer if you call.

I don't have a card yet. That's the issue.

I've called several times with several promises of return phone calls to no avail. I'm not concerned at all that I'll get approved--we fall well into the income guidelines since my husband is the only one working right now. I've just never had to wait so long to see a doctor.  The doctor at urgent care placed me on pelvic rest and i desperately need to see someone to see what's going on.

Planned Parenthood would have no resources but adoption referral, they don't do pregnancy exams. I think Kate is right, Catholic outreaches are a good place to start.  My deductible is 5400, and I know many places do cash contracts at a discount for those in your spot. Good luck!

Planned parenthood offers no prenatal care. Try a local pregnancy center or google to see if there's a Catholic charities near by. That's what I had to do for my first baby. Good luck!

Maybe planned parenthood could do a general exam

You do not have to be approved for medicaid just because you are pregnant anymore (so much for the affordable healthcare act). Medicaid is income based-I was denied because my husband & I made too much money, in spite of the fact that the insurance he was able to get through work doesn't cover anything until the $3000 deductible is met (which we didn't have) so everything is out of pocket for us. Try going to a local health clinic-they usually have sliding scale fees for uninsured, low income patients.
