Re: Re: insurance vs. medicaid

[Guest guest]

we have private insurance, but erika also qualifies for a medicaid waiver

program for her. However, none of her doctors accept medicaid. So i would be

very careful and check with the ones you are happy and comfortable with

before you drop anything. I even have two that dont even accept any insurance

anymore. we have to pay first and submit.

I think it may depend also on where you live and how much they get

reimbursed.

is now 23 and has Medicaid. However, our private insurance

remains her main policy; Medicaid picks up the slack. Recently, despite

quite full coverage, I've been trying to set up appointments with new drs.

I'd swear that the office folks hear " Medicaid " and issue an automatic

refusal to make an appointment. At least in Missouri, if possible, it's best

to maintain private insurance. Martha
