I applied for Medicaid when I found out I had cancer a few weeks ago. My online NCDHHS account (NC dept of health and human services) says I’m approved for “Insurance Affordability” and “Retroactive Insurance Affordability.” I’m not sure if that means I’m approved for Medicaid?
My husband and I have been unemployed since March and we have a child under 18.
I have been assigned a case worker. I know because she called to verify that my husband was unemployed.
I am very anxious about this as I am scheduled for surgery in a few days and they want a lot of money upfront. If “insurance affordability approved” means that I will receive Medicaid that would be a load off our minds. Does anyone know what “insurance Affordability approved” means in this instance? Is it Medicaid or is it ACA insurance?
thank you!
Many hospitals have funds available for people who need care and do not have the money for it. Call and ask to speak to a patient advocate.
I'm sorry you have to worry about this as well as your health. Best of luck going forward.
