anyone have state medicaid?



Recommended Posts

I am sure every state varies but if you had a state medicaid did you have to pay anything out of pocket and did you get denied or approved

Every state is different but I was approved in CO after meeting their guidelines and only had my co pays as detailed in my insurance coverage. So I did pay a co pay for everything, including per night in the hospital.

From submission to approval was exactly 14 days with a week day holiday mixed in. My surgeon said that is the norm.

It seems that most people have to pay which had me worried so I just called Health Care USA which is Missouri state Medicaid and they said if I am approved then I won't have to pay anything, and that makes since because to require for state Medicaid in Mo you have to have an income below the poverty line in most cases.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
