My mother in law has just received a letter that her state funded insurance is being terminated at the end of the month.
She’s supposed to go on dialysis week after next,
She’ll die without insurance.
Has anyone any experience with this?
Have you ever been terminated from a program,
How did you get back on?
I was terminated from medicaid, I just reapplied and got back on. I’m not sure how it works for Medicare, but I do know that trying to talk to state employees is like pulling teeth. I’ve only had one answer in the two years I’ve been on. They never return phone calls either.
I would reapply, and if it takes a while to get accepted go to emergency, and they SHOULD be able to get her into dialysis treatment. Just dont sign ANYTHING for her. Let her sign everything. If they ask you to sign then you could be billed for everything if her insurance doesn’t come back. They tried to do that with my Grandpa when he was on chemo for cancer. There was an issue with the VA, it got resolved, but my aunt was almost on the hook for the bill if the VA didnt pay up.
How long did it take to get back on after you reapplied?
What was the reason for the discontinuance?
She makes $200 more dollars than is allowed.
Is it Medicaid?
Its Medi-Cal.
12345
So she’s making better than 1400 then? How old is she?
No,
We stated on the forms that we charge her rent.
It only took me a few weeks.
why did they not just give her a share of cost? I don’t understand why they discontinued her.
I don’t understand either.
I really hope it was just some sort of mistake and they can get her reinstated quickly.
Is she over 65 years old?
She will be in December,
But not yet.
Is she on ssdi for disability?
She’s on disability.
She just got on it earlier this year.
Did the notice of action say what program she failed the income test on, was in the Aged and Disabled program?
I don’t know,
I really haven’t read all of the paper yet.
Just saw that she was terminated and that it was because of income.
The reason I’m asking all these questions is because if she fails on income for A&D then they should automatically try her on the next best program, which is the Medically Needy program and give her a share of cost. It shouldn’t discontinue her right off the bat.
My best advice is to file a hearing, where her benefits will continue while she’s awaiting the hearing. But you have to file the hearing before the discontinuance date for benefits to continue.
Great information,
Thanks!
