Medicaid Scare

Just some FYI. A few weeks back we were having some issues with our Medicaid application. For those of you who don't know Medicaid provides you coverage in the event that you become pregnant and don't have the means to financial afford the pregnancy. Florida's medicaid program is actually pretty nice, all my appointments and the delivery are covered 100% and any baby visits afterwards. Sweet.

Well the Florida Department of Children and Families is the party to accept or deny the applications and they are very picky. Something on one sheet of my application was not complete and they had rejected the entire thing. Well after weeks of worry and trips to the office it is finally cleared up and myself and the baby are covered. Once less thing to be concerned about :).

Peace Out,

Reduce & Consolidate

Today I am getting out of my slum. I woke up this morning and started to get up and get my brain moving once again. I think I have finally mellowed in the excitement of the news and now it is time to get serious. We have a lot to do in the next few weeks and not enough money to do it.

The first thing I did this morning was to take a good look at our finances. Since we have moved there a lot of bills we can reduce, combine and get rid of until we have stable jobs. Today I will be calling and doing all of that.

I am also going to start looking into a clinic I once used before I got married when I didn't have insurance. I remember that they provided a lot of services I needed for next to nothing if not free. I remember when we were there once there were quite a few pregnant people there who were raving about how grateful they were that this place existed since they came from lower income areas and didn't have the insurance needed to monitor their baby. I know it isn't the best of situations but until we have some real insurance I have to take something.

Peace Out
