Content: So basically once the baby is born apply for him/her ASAP. There should be a section that asks do you want the Medicaid to be retroactive? So check yes! ------As for a pediatrician pick one that accepts the Medicaid you will apply for. See if they will put you on a payment program so you only have to spend a few bucks at each visit until the Medicaid goes through. If you have to pay in full just have the office run the Medicaid once effective and you should be reimbursed. Hth

@mcgeelisha,
I think it may depend on your state. I live in nj and I have ins for me but baby is on Medicaid. I applied a month before my due date. on the application, it asks if you are pregnAnt.
