Pregnancy insurance?


I have insurance right now, I am probably 3-5 weeks pregnant. I haven't gone to the doctor yet because my husband should have a new job on monday. I have medicaid as a 2nd insurance but if i go and ask for pregnancy services, and show them that im pregnant with a note from doctor, can i use medicaid until the new insurance kicks in and then use medicaid as a 2nd insurance?

Plus what if the new insurance doesn't allow me to use it for pregnancy, will medicaid still pay?

You may not beable to use Medicaid as a second Insurance if your Husbands Insurance covers what you need. You can however use Medicaid until you get your husbands Insurance.

Your husband's new medical benefits will most likely not kick in for 1-6 months so whether you go to the doctor now or not is not going to make any difference. If the new insurance has a pre existing condition clause it will not cover the pregnancy, if it does not it will cover any bills you get after it takes effect.
If you have medicaid now and you qualify to keep the medicaid after the new insurance kicks in it will cover whatever the other insurance does not cover.

I don't know if medicaid counts as prior insurance coverage, with the new insurer.

You'll have to call the medicaid office tomorrow and ask them - if you make too much money, you'll be booted off of it, but you could always apply to your state children's health insurance plan.
