Ugh my luck, I'm feeling a cavity and its aching :( I have pregnancy Medicaid does anyone know if it covers the dentist or no ?
My baby is due the end of January but I have a gut feeling it's coming earlier and we aren't going to be prepared. My husband is only going to be working 5 minutes away and I can call his work and freak out and hey will send him home for me but winter gets so bad here... It snowed last night for the second time and it's stayed so far.. And winter has lasted time may for the last three years here :(
Oh my gosh when is your baby due?? That is not good with only car and stuff I will prolly be in that boat soon if me and my bf get this tiny one bedroom house we are looking at , well except for hospital being an hour away . Right now I can see it and it's like 5 mins if we move it will be like 25 mins away. My baby is due in February . Thank god it hasn't snowed here yet lol , we do get a good bit in wv though @mrsschutte1323
Lol there's way too much snow by me. I hate snow!!!! And of course my baby is due in the dead of winter and my husband works nights (with the only car) and my roommate is NEVER home and family is 20 minutes away and the hospital is an hour away.
@arijane316, well shoot we need to move where @mrsschutte1323 is to get our dental done hahah.
Well I called mine this morning. I guess the only thing I'm covered for is emergencies, dentures, and something else
I live in Wisconsin. I lose insurance after the baby is born because my husband makes too much money but the baby will continue to have it and I have it while pregnant
@arijane316, that's what I'd assume too for me but noooo lol . I called twice to speak to someone else and ask about it to see if maybe first person was wrong . I thought it was pretty much the same everywhere
I'm 24. as far as I know, my dental work is covered because I'm pregnant.
Wow wtffff. Where do you guys live ? I'm so jealous lol. I'm so frustrated don't even know what to do now . @mrsschutte1323
No I'm not but I know that doesn't matter because I'm pregnant. My sister was 15 when she had her baby and was on state insurance. It was the same for her they cover everything as long as you go to who they want you to go to. If you're not pregnant then you can't get insurance after 19 years unless you're in school
It's such bullshit I agree !!! @arijane316 @mrsschutte1323 that's what I thought too I figured they would cover it but nooo just want to take someone's tooth out and screw up their mouth and make teeth crooked . I just can't believe it. Are both of you over 21? @mrsschutte1323
I guess it depends on your state..mine pays for everything as long as I qualify for it and I'm pregnant so I do.
Right !!! Like I was like you got to be kidding me . I just turned 22 on oct 26 :( @mrsschutte1323 idk what to do now
Really? I'm 24 and they told me they will pay for fillings, pullings and cleanings and x rays every 6 months.
Omg I'm so upset guys I just got off the phone with Medicaid and since I'm over 21, 22 they will only pay to have teeth removed , no filling, checkups or nothing :( @arijane316 @maddiesmommy2016 @mrsschutte1323
medicaid covers dentists, yes. I keep forgetting to call mine and I desperately need to have some teeth looked at
Medicaid gives you a list of dentist in your area that you can go to if you call them :)
They should be able to just log into the insurance company's database and find your info :)
Awesome news ladies !!! Thank you so much . Hopefully they will see me without having card yet and can take care of the cavity @mrsschutte1323 @maddiesmommy2016 @annabellesmommy @tylersbaby30 @kinsleyraesmommy
Yes it does cover dentist visits. I have pregnancy medicaid and was on phone with them Wednesday and they said they do. Also, covers eye doctors
oh I'm not sure! I got on Medicaid and they told me to choose who I'd like to go through, or they'd choose for me. I chose buckeye health insurance because that's what mainly everything in my town accepts. (:
Oh shoot idk ... I didn't know I was suppose to lol . I'm still waiting on my card in the mail , they messed up address and I called over a week they said they resent it with correct address .. Still nothing . Does it have to be a certain kind ? @annabellesmommy
I've heard it doe's just gotta call around to find one that takes Medicaid.
I def understand that ... we aren't prepared either :( well I'm glad he's close so you can call . Maybe you could go stay near the hospital when it's close to time (although that would be hard to know exactly when ) stay warm xx . Hopefully everything will go smoothly for you @mrsschutte1323
