Re: need help about scoliosis,

[Guest guest]

Hi Ping,

I looked at the Florida DCFS website and found the requirements for applying for

Medicaid (http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/programs/access/medicaid.shtml). It looks

like the only way a non-citizen can get Medicaid in Florida is in the case of a

medical emergency:

Emergency Medical Assistance (EMA) For Non-Citizens

Noncitizens, who are Medicaid eligible except for their citizenship status, may

be eligible for Medicaid to cover a serious medical emergency. This includes the

emergency labor and delivery of a child. Before Medicaid may be authorized,

applicants must provide proof from a medical professional stating the treatment

was due to an emergency condition. The proof also must include the dates of the

emergency.
