I wish I was in Florida at the time lol. Texas you have to apply for everything if you want. No one will guide you through anything. But I applied online and I got denied. Then went to the office and they reviewed the case and told me they'd close it out and that I'd have to reapply. But like I said my card came in and I was like what?

I actually work for the health department in Florida. If you go in and do a pregnancy test to verify pregnancy they'll sign you up for pregnancy medicaid and from what I see it usually takes 2-3 weeks for it to go through. And if you qualify they'll walk you over to the wic office where you'll be able to get milk and food for yourself and food for the baby when he/she is born.

That makes no sense! An active online case is still valid to go into the office. They're the same things.

that is soooo strange??? I live in new zealand and doctors and ultrasounds and stuff is free..dental care is free when pregnant. im with specialist docters because of my history and its all free. must be hard over there having to worry about insurance.

I don't think you should stress it. My case got denied. And like 6 days later I got my Medicaid card. I called to see why and they say they re-checked the case. If you did it online which is the fastest way then it specifies why. And you can reapply. But b I t c h them out girl!
