Hi all, I recently found out I am pregnant with my second child. With my first child I was under 26 so still under my dad’s insurance (BCBS) and nearly everything was paid for as far as prenatal care and delivery. Now that I am not on my dad‘s insurance, and I am now on my husband‘s, (through his employer) we have Cigna and our deductible is fairly high, about $3600 per person or $7000 household. Anyways, I was told that I will have to pay about $500 per prenatal visit November through February because I have not met my deductible and that $2000 is the current “global maternity fee”. This fee also doesn’t cover ultrasounds, lab work, other pregnancy related issues. Therefore I applied for pregnancy Medicaid hopefully as my secondary insurance. Has anyone else applied for pregnancy Medicaid as there secondary? I just got my Wellpoint insurance card in the mail today and the person ID number to upload my documents to The Medicaid website…. Do I need to let Medicaid know that I already have insurance but want to use this as my secondary? Or is it automatically like that when I go to doctors? I know I need to let my OB/GYN know as soon as possible to make sure they take Medicaid. Thanks.
