I was on Medicaid and it was great coverage for everything. Now, after being approved for SSDI and recently being required to enroll into Medicare, seems like headaches and nobody knows a straight answer.
My Medicaid dropped me on the day before Medicare started with no warning or notice.
Local social services office did something to stop the $185 a month Medicare premium but as of right now, I don't know what Medicaid is covering or not. Medicare website says I have traditional.
I had Aetna Better Health Medicaid plan and SSDI is my only source of income $1259 per month.
My case worker stated her expertise was not disability and I have yet to get an answer on what I should do or what are my plan options.
It appears my SSDI puts me over the aged blind disabled qualification for full Medicaid.
So far, all my research and income limits points me to possible QMB status. Do I select a new plan or does my local social services office? I need vision and dental to get something similar to what I had on full Medicaid and avoid the Medicare $185 premium every month because I can't afford that.
