Okay ladies. So let's say you don't have health insurance anymore and you're pregnant can they deny you when you're in labor??? My fiance is freaking out saying his mom is telling him that and now he's stressing out about it..
Also, let's say you were to go into labor somewhere other than where you live.. Can you go to any hospital or does it have to be YOUR hospital????
@anumaat, I have my medicaid card and everything its just I was suppose to renew my welfare and I didn't receive the letter at this address so I never got to renew it and so they cut my medicaid off so I have to contact the lady ASAP on Monday morning.
Contact Medicaid and they'll rush it being that your pregnant. I contacted Medicaid when I found out my artificial insemination was an success (2 weeks pregnant) and I received my card like 5 days after so they'll definitely work with you as long as you have verification that your pregnant to send them!
@towens921, I'm going Monday also to bring in the renewal application and to talk to the lady Hope everything works out for you!
they can't deny you ANY care what so ever, insurance or not! that's a HUGE lawsuit.
I'm going through the same thing right now because I lost my job. They told me my application was denied for some documentation they never even asked me for. I'm going to the Welfare Office Monday
I see you live in pa so Google pa health insurance and call to speak to a representative and tell them you want to apply for emergency medicaid cause your (weeks) pregnant
I think that even if they stopped it and you give birth during that period, they will still cover it. They always go back to when you lost it so I wouldn't worry so much.
apply for emergency medicaid so they can pay for the birth. that's what I was told to do
@rodriguez13, yeah and I was upset because it said there was a phone interview set but I never even received a voicemail or a call from them 😭😩
Yes girl I know what you mean. Even when they send it to the right address you get it the day before or that day 😤😤😤😤
@rodriguez13, yeah I had insurance through welfare but I had to renew my benefits and I didn't get the letter till late because it was sent to the house in Allentown (long story) so they cut my medicaid like not even a month ago so I have to call my case worker
Can't you go on Medicaid?? I'm sure they will give it to you. If I'm not mistaken, they give it to every pregnant woman!
It doesn't even have to be pregnancy related, it can be anything but a hospital cannot deny you.
@missjess, thank you He is freaking out because my insurance just ended not even a month ago because I couldn't renew my benefits but I'll be calling the lady on Monday thank you!
Have you checked with the welfare office since your not work n you n your fiancé aren't married you can get insurance. At least for the time being to help cover the labor bc that labor bill is steep!
I see signs all the time that say if you are in labor and don't have insurance they can't deny you! I'm sure they just bill you after
ER's don't deny anyone
