Medicare and Medicaid are both government sponsored health insurance. Medicare covers people over the age of 65 and people with disabilities. Medicaid covers the poor (income level for acceptance varies by state.)
Yes, Medicare covered all my expenses, except for the deductions and the usual 20% charge. I had a child in 2002 and I only had to pay the doctor $458 which included my $100 deductible for the year. My epidural was also covered. I had to pay only the $700 deductible for the hospital bill. However, Medicare does not cover the care of the child. I hope this was helpful. I had searched for the same question when I was pregnant.
Medicare covers pregnancy expenses as well as any insurance will. I am 19 and just discovered that I am pregnant and was really worried about that as well. Also, another good resource is the WIC program for nutritional support for you and your baby. Get approved as soon as possible to see an ob/gyn.
i m 20 week pregnant and I just found out about Medicare actually i live in Florida - Daytona Beach and i want to apply for the Medicare is it possible to apply for Medicare now and i got the form but I don't know can i just post that form to the office or someone told me that i have to go to social security office for that i m really confused thanks
I think the last two ladies who wrote in are needing MediCAID, not MediCARE. There is a difference. If you are pregnant and have no insurance, and are NOT disabled, you should go to your local welfare office and ask how to sign up for MEDICAID.
I found out late last month that I was pregnant I went straight to my nearest hospital and applied for the PCAP program which is associated with Medicare I am now fully covered I'm not sure what I will eventually have to pay on my own but right now I get blood work checkups and counseling FREE as well as the WIC program and free dental care
I am so surprised to have found this answer., I am disabled in both arms, not totally and am pregnant. I have Medicare because it was a work related injury and my workers comp. has me on permanent disability. So now at five months pregnant I am reassured by the answer a gal gave plus i got some info that ok'd it from Medicare .GOOd
Thank you so much for your answer, I have been trying to find out this answer. I am disabled and on Medicare, Does anyone know if you can get insurance to cover your unborn child? I don't qualify for low income because I sold my house and I am living off that money now. I live in California.
CORRECTION: MEDICARE IS FOR ELDERLY AND DISABLED PEOPLE. AND MEDICAID IS FOR PEOPLE
WHO REALLY NEED IT. (like pregnant women and their babies) Medicaid does cover most pregnancy expenses. As far as I know, they wont cover medicines that you need that can be sold over the counter. My doctor prescribed for me to take iron tablets, and i had to end up paying for those out of my pocket. I also hear that if you
have any hospital or doctors bills that you haven't paid prior to three months of you being accepted or signing up , that they will retro back and pay those for you. But the only bad thing about it is once my baby is born they wont pay for his circumcision.
:
I am disabled and have medicare and it paid for my me when I was pregnant, as for my son he was under the state of Alabama's program called Allkids... most states I believe have programs to help children you can usually go to the health department and ask about state assisted programs for insurance when in doubt..
I recently read that Medicaid WILL cover the treatments needed after a miscarriage.
Medicaid will cover everything including life flights my son was early and was life flighted to a nearby city and Medicaid paid for it
In the U.S., if you have signs and symptoms, Medicare will pay for the test. Otherwise, no.
In Louisiana it covers pretty much everything. The only things I can think of that it doesn't are 3/4d ultrasounds and circumcision if it's a boy.
yes
" If you are under Medicaid and you are in need of an electric wheelchair to make life easier for you to live, you will see that Medicaid will be able to share the cost of buying the equipment or if you are under the managed care plan, you will see that Medicaid will be able to cover all the cost."
No they do not cover the diet pill, they use to cover the cost to visit the doctor but they stop paying for it.
Medicaid plans cover IUD removal.
Medicaid does not typically cover contact lenses or contact lens fittings.
Medicaid will cover the cost of mobility scooters for those who meet elgibility requirements.
It might not, but you can buy a pregnancy test at your local pharmacy for no more than $10 and it is 99% accurate.
I know that in California you can but it will only cover pregnancy related services.
does medicaid cover children that have add
WILL MEDICAID COVER MY LOWER DENTURE
Medicaid normally does not cover the cost of a dental implant. It is usually able to cover only basic dental care. Medicaid coverage is different in each state so it is best to check coverage options based on where you live.
Yes they will cover the cost but you will have to have a doctor stating that they chair is necessary. Once you get that, its just a matter going through the process to get it done.
