Retroactive Medicaid coverage

Retroactive Medicaid coverage

Some citizens still do not avail of Medicaid, maybe because they do not have enough information to be able to do so.  Worse, they only apply for this benefit if they are already under dire circumstances.  But there is good news, especially for those people who have spent out of their own pockets for their illness.  If you do not have insurance coverage prior to enrolling in Medicaid, you may still be able to qualify for what they call as retroactive Medicaid coverage.  This means that you are still entitled, or may receive Medicaid coverage for up to three months prior your application

Medicaid will only pay for services directly to your health provider.  They will not reimburse you for any out of pocket expenses that you have made.  It is always wise to look for a health provider who will agree to bill Medicaid at a later time, instead of you having to shell out cash for the treatment that you will be getting.
