no insurance :(

[jeszewski]

So my insurance just dropped my coverage I'm 36+3 and I'm freaking out I don't have Medicaid so I can use that as a back up I'm worried my doctor is going to stop seeing me they haven't said anything about my insurance yet but I'm sure its coming ...and what do I do when I go into labor with the hospital still take me freaking out don't know what to do

I live in tx n got accepted for pregnant womens medicaid with an income of 1700 a month just me my fiance lives with me but because w are not married i did not have to include him if you apply online for just reg medicaid.. You get a response within 3 buisness days usually they will set u up with a phone interview n tell u if ur approved or not i had Medicaid within 2 weeks of applying it covers everything ... i had to fax stuff into them .. Never had to go to their offices ... Good luck i don't know if it works the same in your state hopefully it's similar

I live in pa and medical assistance will pay the medical bills if u dont get the insurance by the time u have the baby. id just apply right away as soon as u can

[Ashdub07]

Yeah Medicaid will back date 3 months only but if you are outside the income guidelines they will reject it. It sux so I hope you can get it.

[babywhalen2]

They will always take payments...most places are happy to work with you if you seem like you are really wanting to make things right. Im paying for this baby all out of pocket cause we make to much for medicare, and everyone so far has been very good about working with us. Deep breath, itll be ok.

[mrsh72911]

If you get medicaid they back date it to when your other insurance ended. Good luck. You should get it since your are pregnant.

[Ashdub07]

I got dropped from my insurance cuz my husband changed jobs I haven't seen a doc since April cuz I'm trying to get my new insurance squared away. Good luck!!

[jeszewski]

Ok thanks ladys I will try Medicaid again and pray my doctor doesn't catch on to my cancled insurance for the next 4 weeks ...and then I guess I will figure out something with the hospital if they can't turn me down then I will just have to pay the bill back in payments or something ....ahhhh why does this have to happen now can't catch a break

[Ashdub07]

I just looked up emergency Medicaid and te website says it cannot b applied for in advance and in preggos it only covers labor and delivery not doctors visits

[Ashdub07]

I'm in Texas there is no emergency Medicaid here

[Ashdub07]

Idk how it is in other states so you will need to call your HHSC department and talk to a rep. Ive never heard of emergency Medicaid and where I am if you make over the income limit you can't get any help from HHSC. So you need to call someone who can help, because medicaid is state specific

[jeszewski]

What is pcap ??

[jeszewski]

Can I apply for emergency Medicaid online too or do I have to go into a family services place

[jada0316]

Even if your income is too high you can still get pcap coverage ... My friend works in a clinic and the usually accept expectant moms

[bhtalton]

Apply online it's much faster n it won't hurt to try the worst they can do is reject you

[jeszewski]

I will call my insurance company to to see what they say but I'm sure they won't be very helpful .they haven't been so far I was on the phone with them trying to see if I could do anything to keep it and they just said no

[mizy_g]

your pregnant don't you have to qualify?

[babydue07182013]

Yes apply for Medicaid right away!

[jeszewski]

Yeah I'm going to apply tomorrow but I think I make to much the income requirements are really low since I live in a big city when I went to apply before I made to much and I'm due in 26 days so I don't think I will have it in time anyway :(

[eve42013]

omg see if you can get medicaid or call may be like the goverment to see if they can help you. Or may be ur insurance to tell you what to do or wat resources to go to

[mommygg]

Try to see if u qualify for emergency medicaid or something

[jada0316]

Well if you go into labor a hospital cannot turn you away,but you may have more trouble If you try going to a private hospital. But you can go to most clinics and apply for emergency Medicaid and it will take about two weeks for them to accept your application. But until you are, they will give you a letter that you can use until then . Good luck with it all && don't stress !!

[AHHHpenguins]

I would get on Medicaid right away!

[Ashdub07]

You need to apply for Medicaid ASAP as it can take up to 45 days for them to approve you!

[Xobriyoungxo12]

The hospital cant legally turn you away, they have to take you and you should look into it and see if you can apply for medicad now
