Try talking to your doctor about your options. She may be able to help you out with some kind of assistance other than medicaid.

Personally...well, I can't prove income, so haven't even tried to get Medi-Cal. I'm pretty sure I'd get turned down.

I would take what you can get... I mean, I hate to say it, I know you have a relationship with your doctor, but it's too important... of course, this coming from a woman who hasn't seen a doctor in the first 5 and a half months of her pregnancy... but honestly, do whatever it takes.... it makes me so sad when I have to put all my faith in God that my baby will be all right...

Talk to DHS about getting a exclusion on your medicaid.(seeing that they will include your doc for a time period)
But If your doc does not except medicaid then you need to find an other doctor. Because there will be test and monthly exams. That will get very costly.

If you get medicaid there wil be a list of doctors to try till you find the right one. Ask your worker who they like, that might help.

Hi, I assume you're in Australia (having clicked Australian Questions only - i hate answering q's with the wrong info)

Here we have Public patients, and private patients. Private patients have health insurance on top of the government medicare. They pay their doctors bills, and also pay to go to the hospital, and get a private room, and get a rebate from both medicare and their health insurance.. This rebate can be anywhere between 30-60% of the bill. Not a lot.

Public patients have no health insurance, but have medicare, and pay doctor bills, but not hospital bills. Medicare gives a rebate on doctors bills.

Having said that, our health insurance doesn't cover doctors bills. Medicare does.
So, here's where i say that you're probably better off without health insurance, but that's assuming you're in Australia.

(Sorry if you're not)
