My son last month was admitted to the hospital for failure to thrive because he was not growing. We found out he was critically anemic and he received a blood transfusion and he thought all was well.

Fast forward to October 4th, we move to Arizona from Idaho where we were on Idaho Medicaid. We do not qualify for Arizona Medicaid because with my husbands new job he makes too much and we are not going to be on his works insurance until November 1st.

I took my 3month old son to a pediatrician here to get him checked out. We were told he was loosing weight and his blood levels and white blood cell count were critically low. I paid for that visit out of pocket but we were told to go to the ER immediately. I called the generic Idaho Medicaid number and got told our Medicaid was cancelled but it is active through the rest of the month and should cover the hospital.

Well they admitted us a week ago and they are estimating we will be here a week longer at least. I have talked to: Idaho Medicaid, healthy connections, gainwell technology, the hospitals caseworkers, social services, billing, financial counselors, his doctors and specialists and NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME ANSWERS!!

All I want to know is

1 is my hospital visit going to be covered?

2 are the specialists that are being consulted covered?

3 are the procedures going to be covered?

Through our Idaho Medicaid? Because so for far our bill is projected to be over $100,000 and growing.

Has anyone had a similar experience or any advice? He has a bone marrow biopsy scheduled for tomorrow and I want to be focused on my sick child and not the financial parts.
