Hey y’all! New to this. I recently applied for Medicaid and got approved. My issue is I’m still confused on how it works.

I am aware I may need to select a health plan under it but not required to? I’m about to give birth but still under my father’s health insurance until October of this year.

If I go to the hospital with his BcBS and Medicaid as secondary will the costs be covered by Medicaid from what is left over? Do I need a health care plan under Medicaid before giving birth?

How do I choose a health plan through the Medicaid if I have Moms and Babies program and don’t know what plan to select or what would be best for suburbs of Chicago llinois.

I want to find a PCP for mental health, general health checkups, vision, dental and find a new OBGYN before October.

Also once I have a plan set up do I add my newborn to the plan I selected or would she be automatically added?

Abit all over the place, thank you in advance.
