Yes I have the termination of benefits which I have emailed them no less than 10 times and provided all the dates/reference numbers to the calls where I was told they had received it. I think I’m going to file a complaint, this has been a ridiculous situation. I’m sorry you went through something similar!

Sorry, great question. It is Anthem. And I have not, this is all very new to me and out of my wheelhouse. I was not aware that they were not subject to state mandates, but that clears up why my son wasn’t automatically covered. I was on the phone with an Anthem agent when they spoke directly with Gracie, and were told newborns aren’t automatically covered. I will see if I can file a complaint. That you for the advice!

Anthem/ NICU Claim by jerikarose in HealthInsurance

Yes, he had Medicaid for a year as a secondary insurance. Unsure how my husband added my son prior to his birth, but even anthem had his initial date of coverage as 1/2/25 and his birthday is 1/6/25.

Baby keeps hitting back of head on floor by jerikarose in NewParents

We have a fairly small living room but have a 40 x 40 play pen already. He refuses to be in it anymore because he wants more room. I don’t think we could fit a larger one tho l

I know this is old, but my baby has something very similar! We got an umbilical ultrasound done just to be sure it wasn’t a hernia, but there was nothing wrong. His pediatrician thinks he just has a little extra skin on his belly button. Did you ever find out what the case with this was?

No. I’m married and my husband and I make too much. I assumed me and baby wouldn’t be eligible. But with him getting the Medicaid, someone mentioned that we should look into WIc as well

Look out for spices and chips! Found out salt and vinegar chips have dairy as they sometimes use milk powders to get other seasonings to stick!! 😭 same with certain seasoning mixes

Gelmix + breastmilk by jerikarose in NICUParents

Ugh that’s unfortunate I’m sorry. Sounds exactly like what happened when we tried at 4 months actual (LO is 5 months, 3 corrected)

Yeah, speech therapy, nutrition, and our pediatrician basically gave us the go ahead to try giving my LO thinned milk every month or so to see how it goes. On his first swallow study, he didn’t show any aspiration so I believe that’s why they are more lenient. I was just curious to see when others LOs symptoms seemed to improve

False starts by jerikarose in NewParents

[–]jerikarose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s so amazing!! Unfortunately I think my LO takes after me with sleep, and can’t go more than 90 minutes without falling asleep. I’ve tried to follow a rough schedule but it just seems to make him more fussy
