I was recently laid off from my job while pregnant & signed up for WA Medicaid- Molina with no cost to me- it is Not marketplace insurance. I only have myself covered by this insurance & did not include my husband. If we file our taxes together will I potentially owe anything?

Good evening,

Hope all is well. It's time to renew health insurance. I had empire bluecross blue shield health plus, which has become anthem. At least that's what the card says. it's medicaid.

I'm reading the letter in the mail and it says ACTION IS REQUIRED.e.tc.. and eventually it says, Please update the information on your NY State health account.... Okay, sounds easy enough

So, I go to the website address( I haven't been here in over a year) and I'm not sure.. everything looks very different to me. It was somewhat easy last year to find something and update my account. I eventually found update and when I clicked on it it brought me to a page where I saw SOME info about myself.. my name and I guess some security questions and everything else(address,etc) was blank.. Like I actually have no clue what's going on. I almost feel like I'm at the wrong website. To make matters worse, I logged out and can't log back in due to site maintenace. I would have liked to provide a pic here. To say that i'm stressed at the moment would be kinda of an understatement.I'm having surgery tuesday and basically i'm not going to be able to talk for several weeks.. It will literally be like I lost my voice, so basically I have to depend on getting help through the website and through the folks on here.

1. Can anybody post a pic of what the update page looks like? Like and give me a step by step.
2. So basically, I don't make any money. I have some health issues and rely on savings and don't spend anything. I do some online stuff to make a tiny bit of money. I also have a brokerage account(35k..which i don't ever withdraw) Looking at my 1040, it states as my TOTAL INCOME as $4,400. I make like 350 bucks a month with my online work. That 350 bucks is all I see each month Would this mean I should qualify to continue my coverage? BTW, I don't think I ever added any income on the website. I just assume they know I don't make any money basically.

Anyway, I apologize for how long this is.. Simply very stresses. I hope some of it makes sense. Hoping at least 1 person can provide feedback. Looking forward to speaking.

Thank you

I have a family member that’s on SSI and he will be dual eligible for Medicare. I just received notice that beginning next year his social security payment will be reduced by the amount of the Medicare premium. I had the understanding that SSI would automatically qualify him for QMB to pay his premium. Anyone have any information regarding this? Thanks

How does Medicaid (NC) work while out of state and international. Full coverage, only emergency or no coverage? If any coverage, do I have to pay and get reimbursed or how does it work?

NC, qualified for Medicaid (while applying on Merketplace for next year), still on Merketplace insurance. When I talked to caseworker she said we can keep Marketplace insurance and use Medicaid as secondary. Marketplace shows "cancel coverage". Caseworker said the option to choose a plan may come up in a coule of days. Did some Googling and cant really figure that out. From what I understand, if you qualify for Medicaid, you will get no subsidy from Marketplace. And why would I want that, isn't Medicaid at least as good as any private plans?

Last year I got my Medicaid approved. When I notified Humana I got an automatic increase in benefits and a monthly cash allowance. When my agent called to renew my policy she originally told me I would get a slight increase in the cash allowance, everything else would the same. When we got ready to actually sign up for the new policy she then said she made a mistake and my monthly allowance would be cut by almost half. I'm in Mississippi if it maters. Should I cancel the policy and shop around for something else. Is this happening to anyone else?

Medicaid approval letter came and it had a form for NC Medicaid CCNC CA, that had space for me to sign, I think. I did not have any info on what it is and if there is a cost. Did some quick Google and plan to call tomorrow, but figured this is probably a better place to get answer. So, what is it, pros/cons and cost?

Living mostly on savings/investments, some rental and self employment as well.

Family of 5, low taxable income. Spending from savings/investment, i.e. principal, not declared as income. Everything is done with CPA and nothing hidden here.

Marketplace insurance up to now, earlier years has sometimes said no subsidy bc income is under limit, so increased it, thinking Medicaid was not an option due to asset test.

This year Marketplace said qualify for Medicaid, caseworked will contact you, no way to continue or change income.

Caseworked called to verify income. Assumed asset test and asked her. She double checked with her supervisor and said there is no asset test in NC.

Is it really true there is no asset test whatsoever in NC?

Hi everyone I apologize if this is a stupid question but I am new to the adulting thing. So I have Cardinal care Medicaid, but I also have United healthcare as my plan. The provider I’m looking to see says they accept Medicaid- but that they accept Sentara Medicaid and Anthem Medicaid. This means I can’t see this provider since I am not on either of those plans right?

I just moved here from NC, back home there is only one Medicaid. Apparently in Virginia there’s different kinds of Medicaid?

I was approved for benefits but I am confused about the language of the renewal.

It says my "Total Countable Monthly Income" is $29.00. What does that mean? Are they are saying I make $29 a month from what info the received from me??

My friend recently won her ssdi case and received $23,000 in back pay. Will this cause her to lose her Medicaid? She has severe medical problems and would be lost if she couldn’t keep seeing her doctors. She wants to just keep it in a savings account but I worry there’s a limit to how much she can have. Thank you for any insight.

I’m going to be moving from CA to NJ and have medications that I absolutely can’t miss. (Or can’t afford on their own) they are heart meds for POTS, so as you can imagine I can’t miss a dose otherwise my heart goes chaotic.

How do I go about with this move so I don’t run out? I plan to meet with my doctor to discuss. Also I know my address so I will be able to apply prior to actually moving.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We are a family of 5 and struggling greatly.

So for the past 2 months I was receiving full Medicaid but this month they changed it to partial medicaid (family planning). How can I try to get full Medicaid coverage again? I have medication that I have to take and I absolutely cannot afford to pay out of pocket because I’m currently unemployed and am a college student. I also have a 2 year old that is receiving full medicaid.

Does anyone utilize monthly benefits OTC and ever seen this? I am so confused… a negative $770 balance on my kids OTC card… Glitch? Or ?

I have commercial insurance through my husbands employer, but I’m also still covered under CareSource (healthy families) Medicaid in Ga. My medication is listed on the CareSource formulary. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and decided to see if CareSource would pick up what my private insurance didn’t (the way secondary insurance Is supposed to). The pharmacy said that the policy was showing inactive but when they checked the eligibility, it showed as eligible. Does anyone know why this happens? (I know for a fact that the policy is active because it was renewed in October this year unintentionally when I renewed my children’s coverage). Obviously if I wasn’t eligible for coverage I would have been dropped when I renewed my children’s policies.

Anyone have any experience with either keystone first or health partners plans? I don't know which to pick. Which is better to deal with/is accepted more widely. I need to see specialists. I do have preexisting health conditions. I imagine having to get a pcp referral each time would get old. I don't think you have to do that for health partners plus but you do have to do that for keystone first? Thank you for any help you can provide.

What would a 24 year old female do for insurance coverage if she's pregnant, starting a new job (insurance won't kick in right away), not married, and moving to a new state: she will need to be able to see doctor for pregnancy.

If I apply for Medicaid in Washington state (Washington Apple Health) can I choose Kaiser as a managed care plan? Do they offer Kaiser?

Does anyone had any experience with Florida share of cost Medicaid? After emergency hospital visit I got a very high bill that I definitely can’t cover. I applied for emergency Medicaid and I was approved but every time I submitted bills nothing was covered. I called to hospital and to Medicaid and my bills were submitted online even over the phone second time but none of them were covered even though amount criteria was met. Now hospital sent that bill to collections and I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Hi guys, I have a question about the NC medicaid application status, I just logged into the ePASS system and it shows Insurance Affordability Status: approved, dose it mean I am approved for Medicaid? If so, how long will it be mailed to me? Thanks!

Medicaid is asking for self employment records for my husband as he does uber. He is sick and has not done anything for the past month so What documents do I show for no earnings in last month?

hi, i recently got 4 wisdom teeth pulled out and was ensured by jefferson health that it was covered by insurance. now im being bombarded with calls from jefferson saying that there’s 150 left on my balance because medicaid is saying i maxed out my benefits?? what do i do?

Hi I had to sell my house due to legal issues and I’ve been living w my parents but I don’t plan to be here long. Plan to use the proceeds towards new home. I’m wondering how long I have to report an address change? I don’t want to lose my benefits I have a medically complex baby so this is causing a lot of anxiety

I uploaded documents about my loss of income but am wanting to cancel the benefits as it is too much for me.

Also doesn't benefit me in the slightest to have it anyways. Medically Needy and have never gotten it activated. My son has full medicaid and would be cancelling his benefits but im going to get Florida Kidcare for him in the mean time.

Can I go ahead and cancel benefits right now before they complete the changes or do I have to wait? Located in Florida.

Thanks!

So my Dad has been on Medicaid and in nursing home for the past 2 years. He has dementia and was too much for my mom to take care of him, so she worked with someone at the nursing home to qualify for Medicaid. My mother died from cancer in Sept. I learned in Nov that my dad's SS payment would fully go to the nursing home since the community spouse died. My sister and I live in the house, ladybird deed. He's not terrible but care giving is tiring. I'm now thinking of putting him into an assisted living facility, using his SS payment for funding. Going to forego nursing care since he came home with a UTI and fungal skin infection- not great care.. Can we sell his house while he's alive and he keeps proceeds, or would Medicaid do estate recovery or have lien on house?

Edit: we're in FL

Hi there so I always thought kids in Texas get kicked off Medicaid at 18. But I'm seeing some stuff online about kids on the star medicaid staying on until 19. Does anyone have experience with this?

So I applied for Medicaid in North Carolina after loosing my job and was accepted. I did not think it would be accepted as quick as it was. The notice says I have coverage starting Dec 1st. Currently, I have COBRA coverage until the end of this year (premiums already paid). I have a dental procedure scheduled for Dec 2nd and will be using the COBRA coverage for that. So do I need to do anything about the double coverage for Dec? Should I tell my Medicaid caseworker this? Or maybe tell them to drop Medicaid until the end of the year and start it on Jan 1? I really don’t want to do that since it’s already approved.

This question relates to Medicaid for my 85-year-old mother who will likely be going into a nursing home soon. Since technically this annuity generating income was wondering if NY will exempt the principal as a resource and only take $150 a month income or are they going to count the entire annuity as a resource?
