I have medicaid, does that pay for the test?

The clinic should be able to perform the tests you need. I read your other questions and I think that your OBGYN should offer you a referral to see someone in internal medicine. Talk to your doctor and see what they suggest. If you have had 10 pregnancy tests,all neg. and you are still having problems,it is time to see someone else and get this resolved. It could be something as simple as your ovulation cycle is off,but your Gyno should have caught this by now,if this were the case.\n\nMedicaid should pay for anything you have done,but check with the clinic you are going to just to double check,as this varies state to state.

Medicare is a federally funded program as where Medicaid is a state funded program and therefore each state has the ability to set their own rules and guidelines.  Typically, medical assistance is based on your income or disbaility.  You will want to contact your local Division of Family Services to see what you may be eligible for. \nHope this helps!

First of all...to all the people that said "duh"...Your answers to this question were 100 times as stupid as the question itself.  The answer to the question is that they will only find out if you have AIDS, if you've done marijuana, or other drugs if they run a specific test for it.  They don't put the blood in a machine and have it run all the tests that are known.  When you get blood drawn, there has to be a reason...They might be looking for how your kidneys or liver are functioning, so they will test for that.  If they want to know if you have been taking drugs, they can test for that as well.

Most US citizens get Medicare Part A for free when they turn 65 (or if disabled).  You then get the option to pay $88 a month for Part B (which you do).  This will cover 80% of most medical procedures, hospital stays, and doctor visits.  The other 20% gets paid by you, unless you get a supplemental insurance policy which I would highly recommend.  If you have private insurance or an HMO through your retirement (check to see if they will drop you when you turn 65) Medicare becomes the primary and they become the secondary.  If you don't have to pay for that coverage, keep it.  If you do, or they will drop you at 65, or your insurance doesn't come with retirement, look into a supplemental policy about 6 months before you turn 65.\n\nMedicaid is Welfare health care for the severely impoverished.  You must have very limited assets to qualify.  They will pay for your doctor bills, prescriptions, and long term care facility, but they want you to be completely broke, and if you own a house they will put a lein on it.  Stay away from Medicaid if you can afford to.\n\nHope that helps.  Contact an insurance company in your area that offer supplements about 6 months from your 65th b-day and get quotes.  Go with one that the agent provides and processes your claims.  Much easier for you in the later years when you may not be able to deal with the paperwork.  State Farm, Bankers Life & Casualty, Mutual of Omaha those are some of the big ones.

Hi, I live in Asheville. Most available subsidized health care will be within your resident county in NC. I don't know if you have already, but you should check the DSS in Henderson Co, and try to find out what you can do to be seen at the Health Dept. there. Usually they will base your payment amount, if any, on your income. In Buncombe Co, we have an assistance program thru ABCCM (Asheville,Bunc Community Christian Ministry) that will help pay your expenses, but I don't know if you have to be a resident of BuncCo.??  Hope you find something soon. Best of luck to you. ... by the way - how on earth do you qualify for medicare A,B,D and not medicaid? I would re-apply and/or appeal if I were you. Certainly the DSS will reconsider.

No.  You are not ever required to repay benefits you received as long as you did not lie about the money you had at the time you were receiving the benefits.\n\nThis applies to all government benefits including medicaid, food stamps, housing assistance, etc.\n\nThe point of government benefits is to aid people who need it.  If you are lucky enough to find yourself in a position that you no longer need the help, that's good for you.  But you will never have to pay back benefits you received.\n\nAgain, if you ever lie about your income and they find out, that's totally different.\n\nBesides, the taxes you would have to pay on the lottery winnings would MORE than pay back the medicaid benefits I am sure.  :-)

This may not solve your problem, but it does have info about Medicaid coverage, and it is a Health and Human Services (government) website.\n\nhttp://www.cms.hhs.gov/center/coverage.asp

i worked at a health clinic, and as far as i know, you must be pregnant to get medicaid if you don't have a social security number.  if a kid wasn't born here, then he has no coverage.  they don't get everything handed to them on a platter, but they get a lot. \n\n I've seen women come here six months pregnant just so that their babies will be citizens and we pick up the medical bill and also give them some welfare if they lie and say they don't have a man supporting them.  \nhowever, they are very grateful to the US.  they say their country would leave them in the streets to dies without a second thought.\nThey recognize how much we help them.

Just the exam fee!  You can pay it again, and make another appointment.

Any visit to the doctor's office usually results in a co-pay.  They might have been nice and doing it for free for a ling time.  Do understand that medical liability insurance is very costly, someone had to schedule an appointment for you and update your file after your blood pressure check.

Young adults in Vermont can get help through PATH/ESD.  Also, handicapped adults can receive medicaid if enrolled with Social Security.

If you are receiving a "back child support check"-- it is to pay for things your mom has already provided for you.  It's up to your mom to decide.

It's probably a scam. Call a medicaid or medicare representative to double check this. It doesn't hurt.

Although I've never done testing myself, I'm a school teacher so I'm familiar with the process.  Technically the school can't MAKE your mom get you evaluated or they're liable to pay for it.  However, the evaluation usually involves a survey given to all your teachers and your parents that asks all sorts of questions about your behavior and personality.  You'll probably have to talk to someone who will evaluate you as well.  There's usually no medical evaluation other than just talking to the people in your life.  It's not very stressful, so don't worry about it.  Be glad your school is trying to help you (even if you're not actually ADHD) and not just letting you struggle through school.  Oh, and the survey they give your teachers just has them check "never," "seldom," "often," or "always" for the behaviors.  There's a section at the bottom for additional notes, but it's pretty straight-forward.  Best of luck with whatever outcome you get.  :)

Yes you should. There is no way to know for certain but for a Dr to check you. You can look for a clinic in your area if you are worried about the costs.

Check for an Adult Basic Education Program in your area. They will test you to see where you may need help, school you to prepare you for the GED, then pay for you to take it

I honestly don't know. I always wanted to find out though. Is there a valid test available that doesn't charge for the results? It would be an interesting thing to see.
