Re: Medicaid for insurance

[Guest guest]

Oh my goodness…DON’T lose your private insurance if you can help it.When we took our daughter off (when she got on the waiver and Medicaid) we thoughtIt best especially because all her specialist docs were then taking Medicaid anyway.Things change…especially when they reach 18 and you have to start looking for doctors who treat adults.They are very difficult to find and the ones we have found have been terrible. Plus more and more ofthem are refusing to take medicaid now. Sherry Medicaid for insurance Posted by: " berla67 " Berla67@... Date: Sat Jul 14, 2012 1:28 pm ((PDT)) I have a question regarding medicaid as primary and secondary insurance. My son is on the medwaiver and he currently has medicaid as his secondary insurance. He is insured on our family plan since it doesnt cost us more to keep him on. We were always told to keep him on the private as well because of the choice in doctors. We have a lot of out of pocket expenses with the private insurance as far as deductibles and copays. We were wondering if anyone else has taken their child off of private insurance and how medicaid has been working out for them. He will be 16 in August. Thanks for your help!Suzanne
