Anyone has Medicaid share of cost?!?

[Justweight 33]

I'm still in the process of getting all my paper work and insurance requirements in but I'm a little nervous about my insurance. I have Medicaid share of cost. Does anyone else have it and got approved. What was the time limit? Help!!?

i have Medicaid from my state---not sure what share of cost is tho. i do have to pay a monthly premium for my workers with disability medicaid. my surgeon told me once a person follows all rules & makes all appts insurance wont deny it. it took a week for my approval. not sure if this helps.

Thanks for your response @phillyaj. That does help. "Share of cost" is like a Medicaid with a deductible. They start covering you 100% after you pay a certain amount. I've read some other forums that stated they didn't have a problem with Medicare as well so I'm a little more confident

It should just do everything required by the surgeon and insurance company
