[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 393975, member: 1233"] The one BIG reason that they would not qualify now would be if they lied or falsified ANY info on an application or benefit review form. In our state if you lie once on the form you lose the benefits for many years. I am not sure if this is an issue or not - and they certainly don't verify anything on their own, but it would be the one thing I could see that would make them not get benefits. Also, not having insurance and having a low paying job is not necessarily grounds for getting medicaid. I know that when husband was in grad school and I NEEDED the hysterectomy to help save my life we did NOT qualify even though we were WELL below the poverty guidelines. They told me I could have the surgery and file for medicaid AFTER it was done and MAYBE they would pay for it. Of course I knew that they would NOT backdate a request for medicaid because NO govt dept does that! It was what they told people here to get them to stop calling them. I hope this gets figured out. There is most certainly an appeal process - the letter that denied coverage should have info to file the appeal in it. Often it is on the back of the letter as part of the efforts to use less paper.
