13 weeks pregnant and lost insurance

[kmccune]

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and lost my medical insurance. I do not qualify for medicaid. Does anyone know of anything I can do to at least help cover the costs of prenatal visits? My OB is considering me high risk because with my first born I ended up with pre eclampsia and so far at 6 weeks I have already had a threatened miscarriage. I go for a scan and appointment in a few days and the appointment will be $400.

That's crazy I live in Pennsylvania and as long as you are pregnant you automatically qualify for Medicaid

Ok girls I've looked into the health insurance marketplace, and wow the prices for myself was between $400-600 a month. I've already been taking OTC prenatals and thankfully my other prescription isn't to expensive. I'm looking into Tricare next. My husband is Army Reserves.

Costco sells the Nature Made prenatals with Dha, for about $20 and I believe its a two month supply. My doc actually said to take these and disnt give a perscription. As for the insurance I would definitely look into the open enrollment for the Obama care.

Do you have any income based clinics around you? That's where I went before getting insurance.

Same thing here,  I'm applying for humana, it's open enrollment time right now.. so please start shopping for insurance. Then it will be active on 01-01-15. It's a month away, that's what I'm stuck doing.

Go online to the marketplace. I don't qualify for Medicaid but did the tax credit so I pay $96 a month for blue cross hmo. There are several different plans though.

[HHuston]

Omg I am so sorry! I'd definitely shop around for decent coverage you can afford since you cannot get medicaid. Good luck in your hunt!

It's open enrollment now until feb 15th. Check into health ins pol in the marketplace for Obama Care or you can contact any private ins co like BCBS, Atena, Cigna, etc.

One a day makes prenatal vitamins that are reasonable. I used them before I had an appointment. Think they were under $20 for 30. sorry to hear about insurance  what about Obama care?  Not sure if t hays the same thing as Medicaid.
