Insurance News

I’m working temp-to-permanent position so no benefits are offered, and now I’m pregnant, I still have not seen a doctor yet, and I will be 11 weeks on Thursday. I live here in Charlotte, NC new to the city and NC Medicaid the had the nerve to say It looks like you make to much money when I went to apply for Medicaid, and I really don’t make that much at all. The Medicaid application in NC takes 45 days to process, I’m still waiting to hear back to see if I have been approved or denied, I initially applied on 01/14/2010. I pray every night that I have been approved so that way I will have some re-assurance of health care, but its sad in our country people who work everyday don’t have insurance, and I’m about to bring a child into this world. I went to this pregnancy resource center( which there is one located in all major cities) that was free which gives you an official pregnancy test, and one free u/s so I saw the baby at 7 weeks and now I’m approaching 11 weeks praying I will have my Medicaid approved soon. I was just wondering did any other mother have any options about private health care or paying for insurance out of pocket, or Medicaid in NC to get approved. Thanks in advance!
