How do I find a doctor in another state that will accept medicaid while I'm traveling?

Question

My friend has Missouri medicaid for her child and is traveling to Florida for vacation. He needs to be seen while they are in Florida. Is there a list of providers in Florida that I can access that will accept Missouri Medicaid?

Answer 1

Medicaid is a state program, and usually it only covers services in one state. If your friend has Missouri Medicaid, chances are slim that a provider in Florida will accept it. Their are special circumstances where a provider in another state will accept different Medicaid, but it is pretty rare.

Answer 2

your friend needs to contact medicaid to locate providers in florida. they would be able to assist her with this.
