I applied for medicaid for my pregnancy and now im getting stressed,help please?

Question

I applied for the medicaid for pregnant women,I have been waiting sooo long for it to be finished with and I just recieved a letter saying they need proof of a couple things,i already sent that information in but the thing im worried about is in the letter it says "your eligibility for medically needy intact family (unemplyed/underemp) cannot be completely until such and such..What is medically needy intact family? I applied for pregnant medicaid,will it turn out to be the same thing? ps.im not working..on bedrest,only husband is..im annoyed..

Answer 1

Medically needy intact family means that you need medical care, and that you are a whole family, not a single mother. They will be considering the income of the other members of your family as basis for your medicaid. Good luck with it. Sometimes it picks up past bills, for about 3 months.

Answer 2

Sounds like because you are married and rely on your husband's income your qualifications are different than if you were a single mother. I don't know what you mean by "such and such." They may need certain documentation (tax returns, pay stubs, etc.) from your husband to verify your family's income level. I would ask a receptionist or other person in your doctor's office for help if you are confused. Good luck.

Answer 3

Dont stress out. That is normal. Just give them the proof that they need and that will probably be the end of it. It just means you area family and not a single person. They will go according to the size of the family and income. That is all. Everything should be ok with it. :) Dont worry about some rude people leaving comments. They obviously dont understand that not eveyone can afford their employers insurance, and that you have to be on bedrest..

Answer 4

medically needy means you nedd medical insurance......intact family means your family is together ie: you're married. Try not to stress too much, I think they do that stuff to stress people out and piss them off enough to just give up trying so they don't have to deal with all the paperwork. I'm not sure if it's the same where you live, but in my state, a pregnant woman with no insurance cannot be denied approval. And yes, it will be the same thing, it's just all their stupid terms that throw people off.

Answer 5

Medicaid in most sates will cover any bill 3 months prior to the date applied so go to the hospital and enjoy you bundle of joy.

Answer 6

if you are pregnant take a letter to your welfare office and sign up for pregnancy welfare but make sure you have proof and then call up there and ask to speak to the supervisiorand tell them how long you been waiting.

Answer 7

u need to ask your doctor about a insurance that will cover pregnant women. i read about it in a book at my doctor visit. it will cover you while you are preg. if you do not have insurance. look into it.

Answer 8

yea i couldnt go to the doctor until i was 4 MONTHS PREGNANT., cause they lost my info twice!

Answer 9

I DONT KNOW WHAT STATE YOU LIVE IN BUT YOU CAN NOT GET HELP FROM THE STATE IF YOU ARE MARRIED UNLESS YOUR HUSBAND ABANDONED YOU I LIVE IN OHIO .
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THEY WILL BE SO FAR UP IN YOUR BUSINESS THAT YOU WILL SAY JUST FORGET IT.

Answer 10

As long as your husband is working you should have insurance, if he doesn't and your not working obviously you were not ready to start a family; and you're worried you won't receive our tax dollars in time ?? You have some gaul lady! Most of us have to work and learn to survive on our own, not depend on tax payers to cover our ***.
