Actually i just went to the health department in my town in florida and did my pregnancg test and met with a lady that day and my medicaid was approved that same day. She jut printed me a piece of paper out with my mediciad number on it to show people until i got my card but for other benefits like foodstanps i had to go online but didnt go through the access website for my mediciad so maybe if you do it like i did and just go straight to the health department you will get it like i did and get it that same day, it works a lot faster for pregnant women
