Do anyone of you ladies have Medicaid.  If so how long Did it take before it became active

[Pamela0128]

I applied online and it took 2weeks but im in michigan and they cover back appointments/visits 3months prior to being approved.

[rae_20]

Did you ladies apply online or go to the actual human an health services dept

[ladyy_cece20]

As soon as you sign up and they tell you.. You approve for it .. Its active

Im from Indiana and mine took almost 2 months to kick in. And then I had problems with it saying it wasnt active which in fact it was so I had to call my medicaid provider to get it all straightened out.it was a mess.

2 weeks and it showed active. And they cut you off a month after your due date. Like I'm due Christmas, and it ends on February

No u would have to recertify at some point. In. NC I have it for a year n then I recertify. It only took like 2 wks after I sighed up to get my card in the mail.

I think it is good to prepare for the future as well by going to school ---  either college or trade school so that if they cut your benefits, you'll be in a better place to afford it on your own.  good luck to you all

Every medicaid plan is different, medicaid full coverage covers baby.
Medicaid pregnancy plan covers baby for one year after they are born, which helps a lot!

What i want to know is how long ill have it , do they cut you off right after the baby is born ?

[Aly96]

Also got it from florida kicked in right away also :)

[jeni18]

yes and like a month

[victoriamichelle1010]

I got it from fl. Kicked in right away. Now im in new york took a little loger but still pretty quick. Some doctors take medicaid pending ( in fl i know they did) which means they will take you as if you have medicaid and when you get approved they will just bill them then..

[babyberry000]

A soon as i signed up it was active, they even said that medicaid covers one month of appointments back from before you had it.
So if you went August 1rst and don't get Medicaid till September 1rst then medicaid will cover it. I don't know if that works for every state, i live in Idaho & they did that for me

[BradleaMarie]

I had coverage as soon as I applied for it theyy gave me a temporary coverage until I was denied or approved.

[Mia3012]

*also

[Mia3012]

As soon as I found out it kicked in. As depends on the state.
