Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 It only took me about a month! Doug Medicaid For those of you who receive SSI, how long did it take after receiving your first check to get your Medicaid card? I got my first check last Tuesday. Should I be concerned or calling yet because I haven't gotten anything about Medicaid? I need it in order to hire an aide for my Spring semester at college.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 YES medicare and Medicaid both pay for the surgery. Deb RN From: Stimulator [mailto:Stimulator ] On Behalf Of Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 8:41 PM Stimulator Subject: Medicaid Can anyone tell me if North Carolina Medicaid covers the stimulator surgery? I was told my my doctor that it was not covered. However, I investigated a bit and was told yes. I called the doctor to speak to her and her PA answered. When I told her what I had found out she said that it would pay for the surgery but not the tens unit which she suggested that I get. I always have a tens unit so that is not a problem but I still do not have " real " answer.Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Judy, I do not know if Medicaid pays for CI's. My guess is they don't, unless you can prove it to be medically necessary. You will have to check with your state as each state is different.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Thanks, Rhonda. I live in Florida but was asking for someone in New York. (I've had my CI for 3 yrs 4 mos.) I'm finding out that each state does have its rules, and with the economy the way it is, it likely will be harder for a while to get CIs under this health program.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 my CI was paid for by Washington's Medicaid. The best person to ask would be implant center in New York.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Medicaid and Medicare is two different entities. Medicaid is for people with below average income and the eligibility rules are strict. Medicaid pays for a lot of things that Medicare does not, for example, two way ambulance service. For those of us who are working an out of network provider is more expensive for the patient.  Gerald From: spottedlee@... <spottedlee@...> Subject: Re:Medicaid Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2009, 7:04 PM my CI was paid for by Washington's Medicaid.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Your son has a Medicaid recipient number (9 digits) on the back of his Medicaid card. When medical providers bill Medicaid, this is the number that they use. In Medicaid's computers, - there is a screen that they input a recipient number and get all of the paid or pending outpatient claims - a screen that they input a recipient number and get all of the paid or pending inpatient claims - a screen that they input a recipient number and get all of the paid or pending dr claims - a screen that they input a recipient number and get all of the paid or pending pharmacy claims - a screen that shows all rejected/denied payments. As a recipient, we have no access to any of these screens. Medical providers can access these screens and Medicaid staff can access these screens. Hope this helps. -Sherri  ________________________________ From: momofchris2007 <slpanda2@...> IPADDUnite Sent: Fri, January 29, 2010 10:33:06 AM Subject: Medicaid  Does anyone know how you know if Medicaid has paid for anything or not?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Shirley- To date, I am not aware of anything sent to recipients as far as Medicaid payments go. I usually watch my mail and if my son's bills stop coming, I guess they paid. There is nothing on line that shows this. I know that if you call the Medicaid office (by your home) they have no knowledge of payments - all they do is eligibility issues - not payment issues. When the medical providers receive a check from Medicaid, it may  include many different recipients' or just one recipient's claims. With their check, they receive an EOB (explanation of benefits). I have never seen a medical provider send this EOB to anyone. If you are overly concerned about this, please e-mail me off line. -Sherri ________________________________ From: Shirley Linden <slpanda2@...> IPADDUnite Sent: Fri, January 29, 2010 11:18:57 AM Subject: Re: Medicaid  Sherri, so you are saying I can not look at this information anywhere on line like Medicare right? So when I get a bill, say from a doctor and it says Medicare paid this amount and Blue Cross paid this amount, and you owe this amount, then the only way I can find out if it was sent to Medicaid is to call Medicaid or call the Doctors office and ask? Will I ever get anything in the mail that tells me what they paid or didn't pay? Thank you, Shirley From: Sherri Schneider <benefithelpss> Subject: Re: Medicaid IPADDUnite@gro ups.com Date: Friday, January 29, 2010, 5:00 PM  Your son has a Medicaid recipient number (9 digits) on the back of his Medicaid card.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hmm. That doesn't sound right to me. I wonder if you call back and not mention the Medicaid at all, if they will make the appointment. I learned this today: From the New York Times: How the Health Care Overhaul Could Affect You: If your son or daughter is covered under your insurance AND also receives coverage from Medicaid (including Illinois’ Home Based Support Services waiver), the State cannot cut them from Medicaid until the exchanges start operating in 20104 UNLESS the State faces a budget shortfall. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/03/21/us/health-care-reform.html Pam Medicaid My daughter is medicaid eligible. She is also on my insurance at work. Do I have to tell a medical provider that she is medicaid eligible? I tried to take her to an ear doctor and he refused us because I said she was medicaid eligible. After I told them she is on my insurance and please just disregard the medicaid, they refused to see her because I already told them she was eligible.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Welcome to my world..  Thank God, our daughter Pam is on our family primary plan for life or my wife changes employers, and Medicaid.  Majority of docs Pam utilizes will not accept Medicaid. Before visiting a new doc, we call ahead and ask if they bill Medicaid so we know which card(s) to present.  Charlotte is correct when she writes the State is payor of last resort.  We have already gotten some EOB's reflecting the State of Illinois billing the other plan on some items in a failed attempt to recover $$$. The items were not covered in the other plan.  As I listened to Congressman Jr on the radio this afternoon share the news that the cost of healthcare reform will mean funding cuts in other programs, I became afraid of the road ahead!  Humbly grateful to be your companion on the journey...

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 We applied for a TEFRA Waiver for Blake when he was 3.....went though lots of hoops & jumped over several barrells but he was finally granted the waiver 18 months later & it was retro to 3 months before we applied for the waiver(ad to paaly for medicaid and SSI & get denied before TEFRA would be considered). Blake is 18 & he has both insurance & THe TEFRA Waiver. If you apply for SSI & get it, they automatically start you on medicaid(yes you can still keep the insurance, but it will be primary & medicaid is secondary until the primary is done away with)  Mom to Blake 18 Severe Combined Immunodeficiency with Complet T-Cell Dysfunction Autism, SDS &  2 RARE Blood Clotting disorders http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/thetalesofblake " Children are like butterflies in the wind.
