Road Blocks

A is 18 weeks along at this point in her pregnancy. I took her to have another ultrasound, because she needs a more complete one. I got myself and my little ones ready. I picked up A and got her something to eat and drink (we all know that a full bladder is a must for a good ultrasound!)

We arrived at the office (20 minutes away,) to be turned away. MediCal declined coverage for A...again. I am so frustrated! Why is this girl unable to get government assistance? She is a legal citizen with no income, for crying out loud! I wish I had $125 to pay out of pocket for her visit, but I don't. So we left. I could tell that she was irritated. I was too.

Back to square one.

WHAT!!!!!! This is HORRIBLE. I hope it's been handled by now.

That makes absolutely no sense at all. I thought in most states, if you were pregnant, you automatically qualified for Medicaid. That's how it is in Washinton and West Virginia anyway.

That's awful.

I hope the insurance gets figured out soon. Like Bridgett stated in my state all you need is a note from your doctor saying you are pregnant and you are covered. The doctors will even see you for free for your first visit because they know you can get coverage right away.
