If you have access to insurance and are on Medicaid, do you lose your Medicaid?

Question

My wife is having a baby in December and we just found out the insurance her work offers is quite expensive. We would like to keep Medicair if we could.

keep Medicaid I mean : )

I live in Utah

Answer 1

it's not based on whether you have access to insurance...it's if you can afford it, if you and your wife meet the criteria for the medicaid then don't worry

Answer 2

do you mean medicare or medical if you are now eligable with the state insurance and if your wife has just passed a 90day probation or something like that you are able to keep you meical/medicare for a 12 month period i need to know what state you are in and what is the medicade you have so i can be of more help i have been working with medical ins. for 12 years

Answer 3

I don't know a whole lot about this,
BUT....I think that it shouldn't/doesn't make a difference if you have the option to get a new insurance, as long as you don't accept it,
you should be able to keep your Medicair.
I have 2 insurance's--Mainecare & BlueCross/Blue Shield, & that's worked for me, but I'm lucky, I guess, in the sense that my parent's still pay for my BlueCross/Blue Shield health insurance.
(My Dad get's this from his work.)

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but I think it depends on whether or not you can afford it.
