NY State Medicaid

[Guest guest]

Does anyone in NY have just medicaid or medicaid and Child Health

Plus? Very confused here, after almost a year of applying for

medicaid we finally have a medicaid waiver but are now being told we

can't have both medicaid and child health plus. Why didn't they tell

me that earlier??? What does medicaid cover? What does it not cover?

I've called a few of Sheldon's specialists and some of them don't

take medicaid. Very frustrated and don't know which is better,

medicaid or child health plus.

Thanks...

Hi,

My mother is a NYS medicaid worker. I told her about your e-mail and she

suggested you go with medicaid. She says its better. She also said to ask

about a " home and community based waivor " if your child is considered disabled.

She said they won't count the parents income or resources and only count what

the child gets with this waivor. She also wondered what part of NY you are

from. She works in Buffalo. If you have any more questions, I can pass them on

to her. She is recovering from surgery and can't get online herself. I hope

this helps.

Thanks so much for the info. We actually have the waiver already,

we just got it and hadn't been told that we couldn't have both types

of insurance so now we suddenly have to decide which one to keep but

don't have any information about medicaid. We haven't even received a

medicaid card yet.

We're wondering if medicaid will pay for visits to the motility

specialist at Boston Children's Hospital, we just got that approved by

the child health plus insurance.

We live just north of Albany.

Thanks again, I really appreciate the inside info.

I am pretty sure medicaid waiver is accepted at boston childrens because we go there and we have medicaid waiver. We also have mvp as our primary ins but , what our ins wont pay such as copays i know is picked up by medicaid.

Hope that helps. Stacey Fleming wrote:
