Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

I just moved across the border into Wisconsin from Illinois. I have two insurances, united health care and Medicaid through the state insurance. I have started this journey in Illinois and am still an Illinois resident. Since united health care I have to pay the entire amount because our plan doesn't have co pays anymore I'm pretty sure I'm relying on state insurance to pay for this. Here's the dilemma: do I switch over to Wisconsin residence and start the process again in a new hospital because it will be a different insurance through the state? Or stay in Illinois until the surgery is done with? I also have to register lil guy for school and think about switching everything over to the new house. I like this hospital but I feel like with goin to check ups it'll be easier to do that with changing to Wisconsin but it will take longer. What should I do??

My doc said in the info class not to go to far. Said if you need doc help you don't need to travel to far.

I know here in north Carolina Medicaid does not pay in other states. How far are you into the process? And other state Medicaid will not pay in nc. I work at and orthopedic and get couple of out of state Medicaid and it never pays

Well I just had the info meeting then the consult. They are sending it to an insurance now. I guess if i got all te requirements done and went back to insurance through a different hospital it would be ok. But I like the hospital I'm going through now, I may go to the info meeting for a different hospital soon.
