So this is going to be a long post, but I’m so confused. Some background, I live in Ohio and I am a single mom of 1. I had been approved for medicaid in 2022 when I was pregnant with my son. In 2024, I tried to apply for snap benefits which they denied and told me that I make too much for medicaid as well. They said it would be discontinued July 2024 but my son would still be active. I believe my gross income was only $200 over the bracket. I am on my dad’s insurance, so I have been only using that and paying medical bills. Today, I was working on open enrollment for work and was going to enroll in their plan, but wanted to consider my options first. I’m currently in college again for my RN and in the market for a part time job. I figured I would look into medicaid again since I would be making less. When I called to see what the income cut off is and put in my information, it said my medicaid was active. I was so confused and thought maybe it was for my son. So, I looked on the website and found out I’ve had medicaid this entire time. I don’t know what to do now. I currently have 2 bills from an office visit and a walk in clinic, which both took my insurance before. I told them to remove the medicaid from my file since I was under the impression that I no longer had it. Do I send medicaid my bills, take it to my local job and family services, or the office that billed me? And what about the bills I paid prior to this? I am frustrated as to why they sent me a letter a year ago stating I no longer had medicaid but it has been active this entire time!
