Wait Time and Medicaid

[maidenari 0]

So I am covered my AZ Medicaid Mercy Care (or Mercy Care AHCCCS) and will be leaving for college (like really far away) soon like in the middle of august (so if i started 6 months now i would already be out of state by that time). I am well over the 40 BMI mark and have been overweight for quite sometime and I have documented weight loss attempts within the last year (although there were no monthly weigh-ins) My co-morbidites are PCOS, Insulin Resistance, sleep Apnea and back pain. nothing (besides the IR) is officially diagnosed but after some tests it will easily be proven and on my record. I'm pretty sure i've gained a good 3 pounds per month for the last 20 months (which is very abnormal for my age group says my doctor) and my risk for diabetes keeps getting higher and higher. Do you think they would either shorten or waive the 6 month waiting period for me? and if so, how should i go about doing that?
