Call the change report center because you should be able to use your own card for the baby for at least 30 days @parbear

it's MD Medicaid @mommagotbump16 & Thank you

hopefully tomorrow.

it's the hospital job to report it to the state which is medicaid, All I'm supposed to do is tell my HMO.

The State of MD is just difficult😣

that'd exactly how it's supposed to go but for some reason they giving me the run around. @mommycheeks

@mandy890

thanks @melissah

Is it at the same hospital or in the same system? Because normally insurance doesn't catch up that quickly, which is why they wait until baby is added to start processing the charges separately for baby. That's dumb. I'm sorry hon, idk who wasn't paying attention but I hope y'all get it worked out soon!!

also if the dad can add the baby to his job insurance do that and apply for Medicaid as a secondary insurance and Medicaid picks up the Co-pay

@parbear,

Actually the law states that if a women receives Medicaid that the baby is considered under the mothers medicaid for 30 days that's how the baby get it's baby first checkups because technically new Medicaid don't normally start until the first of of the month that's why the baby goes under the mother Medicaid during the pregnancy the mom reports to social services that's she pregnant and provides proof so when they baby is born all you do is take up certificate of birth from hospital and they add baby and babies insurance won't start until 1st of month it takes 6-8 weeks for real birth certificate and social security card so certificate of birth works to social services and wic office I use to work for social services and this is how it was done in PA and DE so I would ask to speak to a supervisor or call the change report center

They should have given you an unborn card. That's what I had with my first and I do now with this baby. Then once the baby is born you just call them and tell them baby's name and dob and they should send you a new one. At least that's how they do it here.

That is ridiculous, I'm sorry you're dealing with that while you're trying to heal. 😟
