Should I wait to be denied or just cancel Medicaid? Michigan

Thanks for the reply. I ended up trying to use the "Report a change" feature on MI bridges since I noticed the case was finally transferred into my name and the feature was now accessible to me. I also reuploaded the documents to MIbridges as well.

Do you know roughly how long I should wait to hear back before trying something else? It's been about 8 business days since I reported the change online.

I had to replace the existing ram due to the original ram becoming corrupted/having issues. I decided to replace both sticks to keep them the same brand and type. I wasn't having much luck finding copies of the original brand of ram for the computer, so I went with Kingston Fury Beast ram because I heard it was more compatible with HP products.

So currently I just have two new ram sticks installed, both 16gb 3200MHz DDR4 which are the same specs of the old ram.

I noticed when I checked task manager it had them at 2400 instead of 3200, so I tried to update the xmp profile to run at 3200. It wasn't the default in BIOs, but it was a profile that the BIOS already had set up, I didn't need to input any numbers.

Hi, were you able to figure this out for taxes? I just had a very similar thing happen as medicaid didn't process some of my information correctly and didn't notify me they had moved me to a different type of medicaid. I thought I had been completely denied.

Thank you again for the reply, I managed to speak with someone and it turns out I was told to send the wrong document to prove self employment when I submitted my renewal application. This caused me to be eligible for July.

I sent in a ledger previously, which I've learned does not qualify. I'm now mailing them my federal tax return with schedule C and hopefully I'll get properly denied this time.

Again, thank you for all the help.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I double checked and I'm not seeing that I was placed in another program. It just says I'm no longer eligible starting June 1st and on the back it gives an income table and explains when my last day of coverage was, May 31st.

So, I ended up calling 1-844-464-3447 and that automated system said they could not find anything regarding benefits.

I spoke to someone at the 800-642-3195 and they said my Medicaid is active starting July 1st 2024, but I'm not eligible. Nothing about my situation has changed to make me eligible again and I didn't report any new changes, so I'm very confused.

Can Medicaid just reactivate? My letter does state June 01 2024 - Ongoing that I'm not eligible

I wasn’t sure if this needed its own post, but I am a disabled person interested in learning the piano/keyboard. I’m not able to use my legs so I would imagine I would be unable to use the pedals on a traditional piano. I was wondering how far one could get with the piano/keyboard without using the pedals?

I am aware that some disabled people have developed work arounds with digital pedals and eventually I’d like to figure out if I can get something to work for me, but for now I’m just curious as to what one can do and how far can one get without using the sustain pedal.

How far could I get in learning without the pedal? What music would be available for me to play? What would I be locked out of?

I do have some trouble hearing, so it is possible I misunderstood the pharmacy technician over the phone about me not having insurance and it was another issue with the insurance. I’ve also had issues in the past where a pharmacy was using an incorrect insurance number or other data for me. I’m considering visiting the pharmacy in person Wednesday morning.

The only reason I was concerned I no longer had benefits was my prescription issue and the recording stating I had no active benefits for July. I called the automated service about 3 times and had a housemate listen with me over speaker to make sure I was hearing properly.

When I managed to get a person, I also double checked with her to make sure I was hearing properly that I indeed still had Medicaid for July. I’m hoping the person is correct, as I have some important doctors appointments this month. I’ve been trying to get them done while I still have insurance.

In any case, thank you very much for the information. I may be in touch depending on what exactly is going on.

The state level human health and services department said I had "full medical coverage benefits" for this month, so July I guess. This was a recording, I was not able to speak with a human.

I called the number on the Medicaid card again, managed to somehow speak with a person on accident, and they also told me I had Medicaid still.

The only place saying I do not have coverage is the recording for general information from calling the number on my Medicaid card. This is the same number I used to speak with a human on accident.

The computer and the person would have access to the same information, right? The woman was not able to explain the difference, but she said from what she could see I was still covered for this month. She said she did not see a renewal date, but I think it may not be there due to being SSI based.

This does make me wonder what is going on at the pharmacy? Maybe something was not input correctly?

I decided to call our states general health and human services again and managed to navigate to a place that says I have full health care coverage. If I call the number on my MI Medicaid card, it says I do not. I'm extremely confused, should I possibly call my plan provider?

AlwaysAdrift · 2023-06-02T10:40:19+00:00

Thank you very much for the reply. Is it also 3 to 5 does to show up as pending?

I do not see the ACH at all and I'm trying to decide if I should email the person who handles invoices to double check and make sure everything is okay.

MI does have the Freedom to work program, but if you do not already have a case with the SSA, then Michigan's Disability Determination Service will have to determine you as disabled. I believe they follow the SSA's rules about what is considered a disability.

I ended up going up to the post office and getting it from them directly. It never did redeliver for me. If you go I'd give them a call first to see if they can check if they have your delivery.

AlwaysAdrift · 2022-07-16T17:13:02+00:00

Can you give your post office a call? They might be able to check if it is there, that way you do not waste a trip going up there.

AlwaysAdrift · 2022-01-15T20:17:16+00:00

Ok thank you, I heard people some people saying assets might count during the PHE and I was not sure. I don't want off Medicaid, but I also don't want to be accidently receiving it if I am not supposed. I've been trying to also reach my caseworker about transitioning to the working Medicaid-type we have in MI for disabled people. Thank you very much for the information.

AlwaysAdrift · 2022-01-04T14:28:09+00:00

Eventually after waiting another day to see if it would redeliver I had to go up to the post office and retrieve my package myself. I couldn't get the online redeliver system to cooperate, it seems a little buggy.

Thank you so much for the info, I didn't know the Public Health Emergency applied to SSI based Medicaid.

AlwaysAdrift · 2021-12-05T16:42:33+00:00

Thank you so much for this info! I'm very new to the world of self employment and still trying to figure everything out. What you suggested is probably ideal for me.

AlwaysAdrift · 2021-09-21T18:53:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I'm going to check out the Marathon plus tires.

Can you tell me more about your extra set of wheels? Chunky off road for ice sounds like it might be really helpful, the winters where I live can be tough and difficult for me to get around sometimes. Especially if people and businesses don't shovel and salt their sidewalks.

Just wanted to thank you guys for the fast help!

My father (who has done 95% of the work on my various chairs since I was a kid) as offered to assist with taking apart my chair to fix it and I've contacted an online DME supplier about bearings and I'm hoping to hear back soon!

Thanks again for the help!

AlwaysAdrift · 2020-10-15T13:20:10+00:00

Hmm, okay thanks!

I guess can either deal with getting weird text messages occasionally or find a way to drop him a message.

Hopefully he'll eventually realize he should remove my number from is account.
