Has anyone ever lost insurance in the middle of a pregnancy what did you do?

Question

My husband just got a new job which means I will be losing my current insurance and I’m like super stressing out about what to do now

Answer

or you can look on the governments Marketplace, open enrollment is happening now. but your coverage might not start right away. you might qualify for subsidies too.

Answer

you can get pregnancy specific medicaid in most states. you might have to switch Dr's to one that accepts medicaid, a lot of them dont, especially OBs. contact your county's human services office or do a quick Google search, I applied online for mine and was approved within 2 weeks and they back paid my OB appt I had while I was waiting for approval.

Answer

I did because I changed jobs but mine only had a 30
Day wait period. So I just didn’t go to the doctor during that time and I wasn’t high risk so he was ok with it. It counts as a life change so you can get your own

Answer

When does the new one kick in

Answer

I lost mine but I was able to hop on my husband's and was only lacking for about three days.

Answer

apply for medicaid. i know many ppl dont like asking for help, especially through government assistance but you can't go without, especially during your pregnancy. use the medicaid until you can afford private insirance or your husbands insurance from work kicks in. *also you may want to check with your husbands current policy through his job. when my husband lwft his last job there was an option to continue coverage for 6 months for a fee.  may be worth it especially considering how many appts you have during pregnancy. would hate for you to have to pay those out of pocket.  it sucks, I've done it, bad idea lol

Answer

Look up Medicaid guidelines for pregnant women in your state and see if you qualify. The guidelines for pregnancy aren't as stringent as they are otherwise.
