That's total bullshit and I would file a grievance ( on this office on that specific worker )with Medicaid .. I work for health insurance in the grievance and appeals department and there is no way an office can accept Medicaid but discriminate against what they offer for Medicaid members .. call your insurance asap and find a new office ! That doctors office is obviously telling you they're just in it for the money and as a first time mom to a 2 month old I'll be damned if I let them touch my baby after that BS ! Middle fingers up to that doctors office
Medicaid/Doctor office question
So we are on medicaid temporarily until my husband finishes his probationary period at his new job and qualifies for insurance. When I gave my pediatricians office our medicaid card for our daughter I was told that they don't accept medicaid for new patients, we are established and she said she would have to check if they would keep us because my daughter has only been a patient for 3 months (so we're not established enough?) She said that if they knew I was going to be on medicaid later they wouldn't have accepted me (I didn't even know we were going to be on medicaid). She said that if they will accept the medicaid that they will only do sick visits and we'll exams but will not provide vaccines, she was really rude about it too. So my questions is has anyone experienced something similar or know why they won't provide vaccines? It's just kind of a pain to have to go to a well visit and then a few days later go to a shot clinic until we get regular insurance.
