By skyforbes So, I recently moved to attend school in ND from CA and applied for Medicaid almost immediately. I was approved and started receiving care. Every time I went to see a physician etc. I was told I didn’t owe anything. This went on for months. I recently applied (around Sept/Oct) for SNAP benefits and was told I’d need to work at least 20 hours a week but make less than I believe $1600 a month. Two days ago, I received a statement on MyChart saying that I owe the hospital I went to for check ups etc. over $2000. The statement shows that the bill is over $9000 but my insurance is paying the majority and that “Some of the charges on this guarantor account are awaiting a response from insurance. Depending on the response from insurance, some or all of the $9,053.80 currently awaiting a response from insurance could become your responsibility.”
What the heck happened? Some of these appointments are from all the way back in January. Is my new job affecting my Medicaid? I also added dental insurance from my job. Could that affect this as well? I’m well under the poverty line so I don’t understand…
Thank you.
