Help! I Was Having A Good Day But Now I Hear This...my Insurance Won't Cover My Surgery



Recommended Posts

Is it medicaid alone? or did you have to add a healthcare plan to it such a neighborhood for example? My primary is Medicare and secondary is straight medicaid. I'll look into it. Thanks

It started off as medicaid alone then eventually chose a medicaid managed program (Health plus, affinity, etc) So in a nut shell its still medicaid when I answer the question "What type of insurance you have?" by any one in a hospital/clinic etc.

I would also love to know the answer to this. Do you have straight medicaid in ny or do you have a specific plan along with medicaid? I would love it if we didn't have to do the 6 month diet, but I'm sure that's required.

and thanks...I'm so glad and relieved to hear that Medicare covered you. Apparantely' date=' my Medicare is my primary insurance and Medicaid is secondary. It looks like it's the same for you.[/quote']

Medicare is always the primary insurance and Medicaid always picks up what Medicare does not pay
