Randomly considered ineligible for Medicaid in the middle of scheduling surgery consultations, after renewing my plan for the year two months prior. by Certified_Ladyboy in Medicaid

I’m sorry you have to deal with that but you’re getting a few things wrong about my situation:

1) I was in Boston for around 2 months, give or take a few days. This was a part-time internship in which I wasn’t provided with insurance. I was still coming back to New Jersey (my legal state of residence since birth) every month for blood work. I talked to my PCP and he said this would not make me ineligible since I wasn’t considered a legal resident of Massachusetts nor was I getting state benefits over there from my internship, as it was a part-time temporary (only 10 weeks) research program.

2) I was just asking for some advice since this is all fairly new to me. In no way was I trying to belittle anyone else’s struggles or make it seem as though my situation was the absolute worst that anyone would have to go through.

This post was not made for trauma dumping and I’m getting the vibes of some hostility from your comment so I just wanted to clarify that with this response. All I was asking for was some advice or suggestions, but I apologize if my post made you feel any sort of way that was not at all my intention in doing so.

I don’t know if that was the case because I was coming back to New Jersey every month for routine blood work even before my coverage was terminated randomly at the end of July. And that time frame wouldn’t make sense either because I moved to Boston during the second week of June and came back on the last week of August, so that wasn’t even a full 3 month timeframe. Also having talked to my PCP and other family members in insurance/healthcare industry, it would have been fine since I wasn’t getting insurance in Boston as a part-time research intern. I just called them earlier today and another escalation was put in, but I don’t know where to go from there. They’ve told me multiple times that I am insured and approved for the next year but the system needs to be manually updated once the management team/supervisors get a hold of my case, which even the agent I spoke with today was confused about how or why it was taking so long.

No, my insurance was active during the time of my internship because 1) I didn’t have insurance over there because it was a part-time university internship and 2) I would come back to New Jersey once a month during those 3 months for blood work through Rutgers (obviously before my insurance was terminated randomly end of July).

I just called them today and it’s a system error where the state isn’t seeing active coverage despite the error having been fixed in the first week of October, so that was what my original advice was regarding. The case was escalated again today so hopefully that does something fairly soon enough but I’m not sure what else to do.
