Does Medicaid cover getting your tubes tied?

Q. I want to get my tubes tied as I have 4 kids. Will Medicaid cover this. Or what about a vasectomy for my husband? We live in Michigan if that makes a difference.

A. This is just personal experience, but I suggest you have your tubes tied vs a vasectomy for your husband. My ex-husband and I decided not to have more children and we were deciding if I had it or he. I chose to have and am glad I did, since we subsequently got divorced and the 1st thing I thought was, thank god, I had my tubes tied, or otherwise may have found myself pregnant again if I was "unlucky"

With you having 4 kids already, you maybe prone to be more fertile and most other birth control methods may have failed you in the past.

Granted, many people get upset about people being on Medicaid, since most likely you are also on food stamps and other assistance, so we as taxpayers are paying for your care and help. But, many times, this happens through no fault of your own, so hopefully Medicaid will pay for it, since the end result, taxpayers pay less in the end.

If;;;;Medicaid does not pay, then go to a plan parenthood clinic, since most only charge based on income, and most likely very little in your case.

good luck


Does Medicaid cover colored contact lenses in Michigan?
Q. I really don't like wearing glasses. But my sight is really bad. I mean like so bad, that without my glasses, I can't see anything clearly unless it's like eleven inches away from my face. So I asked my mom if I could get contacts, she said I could if my medicaid covered it. And my eyes are brown, but my friends say I'd look better with green eyes. So does medicaid cover colored contacts? Or non-colored contacts?

A. Why would my tax dollars pay for your lenses for cosmetic reasons? Are you nuts? They will probably cover regular old contact lenses.

Tell your mom to stop milking the government.


Does Medicaid cover for braces in Virginia for teens?
Q. I'm planning to get braces. My front teeth go outward. Since, I have medicaid as my health insurance, will medicaid cover for my braces? especially in virgnia?

thank you.

A. I doubt it - but check with Social Services to see if there is a Rural Health Network dentist in the area - they go on a sliding scale basis (or free) OR check to see if there is a dental college in your area. That is the new place for people to be going to get their dental work done - it's done by students, supervised by the dental professor, and it's way cheaper than a regular dentist. Don't worry, the students have already gone through their learning, it's just a little practical experience they need. You won't know the difference between a dental student or the regular dentist.


Anyone in Virginia know if medicaid covers circumcision?
Q. I just want to know if Virginia medicaid covers it and if so is it only before a certain amount of time? I could care less if anyone has their opinions on whether or not I should get my baby circumcised. It my and my husbands decision and we equally agree on getting it done. So don't answer if all you have to say is things against it.

A. In Florida it does. I wouldn't see why not in Virginia. You could ask your doc. at your next prenatal visit and ask. My doc. gave me a little pamphlet about it (when i was pregnant with my son), Here though, you dont get it done in the hospital right after you give birth when you have Medicaid, you have to make a seperate appointment to get it done by a Medicaid provider.. .or at the Health Department Clinic. Call your local Health Department, they'll know for sure.

Q. I want to get fixed after I have this baby. Does anyone know whether or not Medicaid covers that? Thanks!
Wow, onceisenough. You are really rude. "We( the taxpayers )..."
What do you think my husband and me are? We pay taxes too. And I'm only covered on Medicaid because he doesn't make a lot at his new job since we're both in college & I'm pregnant. You are really rude - I guess you're one of those stupid people who think all people on govt aid are abusing it. Ignorant...

A. No, that is a elective procedure unless it endangers your life.

Does my pregnancy Medicaid cover my newborns hospital bill?

Q. I live in Texas. So far Medicaid has covered everything. I was told that my Medicaid would cover my baby up to three months after his birth. He was born about a week ago (7-12-11)
He was born with spina bifida so he had to go to cooks children hospital.

I received a bill in the mail and idk how to pay for it. Shouldn't my Medicaid cover it?
On the back of the bill there is an insurance information section. Should I fill it out with my Medicaid info and send it back?

A. Yes. They cover all of the babies bills. After they are born, they will be put on their own medicaid ( if they qualify, if not it will be CHIP) Do not pay for it, put the medicaid info on it and send it back.


Does Medicaid Cover Abortions and will it show up?
Q. I am pregnant and I want to know whether Medicaid will cover my abortion. If Medicaid covers it, would it show up anywhere for my parents to see it? In the mail or anything else. I live in NYC and am 20 years old. Thanks for your help.

A. Medicaid Coverage of Abortion and Other Reproductive Health Services

Medicaid is a state-federal partnership that pays for health care services to certain low-income individuals, including children, the elderly and people with disabilities. Each state administers its Medicaid program within the guidance of federal law and regulations. States and the federal government share the cost of the program. Beneficiaries must meet various restrictions, such as income or medical need, and Medicaid programs and eligibility varies from state to state.

Access to abortion services can be especially problematic for women who are dependent upon Medicaid. The Hyde Amendment, enacted in 1976, denies federal Medicaid coverage of abortions except in the cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment.

! However, because each state runs its own Medicaid program, some states use state-only funds to cover abortions under a wider range of circumstances. Coverage in these state programs varies based on the state and also on whether the woman is a citizen or a qualified or unqualified immigrant. The following chart gives a summary of all Medicaid abortion benefits available in each state.

Medicaid Coverage of Abortion and Other Reproductive Health Services - New York
Abortion - All or most circumstances
Abortion for Minors - Notification enjoined or not enforced
Contraception - All prescription; OTC; and EC
Sterilization - Covered
http://www.ourbodiesourselves.org/book/companion.asp?id=20&compID=64&page=7#ny

According to what I just found the state of New York will cover it on their Medicaid program. Hippa Act keeps your medical records confidential, even if it didn't most clinic will ask you if you can mail or not. Also on the phone they will only speak to you; at Planned Parenthood you had a password to ensure they were speaking to you and no one else. Tell your counselor at the clinic that hey cannot send you mail or phone you, they will write it into your chart. Do what you think is right for you. Email me if you need to talk or have any more questions.

Edit: I guess some people can't handle me passing along some info. Oh, well; they will just have to deal with it.


Will pregnancy Medicaid cover dental work in Indiana?
Q. If I have teeth that need to be pulled that were messed up because of my pregnancy, will pregnancy Medicaid cover it?

A. You best call the number on the back of your insurance card to see what specifically they will cover for you. But I don't see why they wouldn't. But it has to be medically necessary though.


Will Medicaid cover a visit to a pediatric dentist?
Q. My daughter's first two teeth just appeared few days ago. I figured it's time to look into a dentist for her. Does anyone know if Medicaid cover it? We're in NY.
Thanks!

A. Yes, our plan does, but only until they are a certain age then you have to switch to a regular dentist... I don'y know the details yet because my son doesn't have any teeth yet...
