Medicaid??

Question:

I applied for medicaid for my prenatal care on July 11th and I still havent heard anything from them..How long does it usually take before I get it? My first doctor appointment is on August 9, do you think I'll get it by then?

Answers:
The process moves slowly.

But please keep your prenatal care appointment, no matter what. If you don't have your card yet, explain to the doctors office that you did apply. The doctor may be able to help speed up the process.

It's great that you're thinking about the welfare of your baby.

Anything related to government or a government agency will take forever. August is just around the corner. Your best bet is to call them.

They have 30 days to come to a decision. If your appt comes first, they will still pay

How about hitting up the father for the doctors visit? What is wrong with him taking responsibility for his kid? Why should the taxpayers have to pay for your kid?
