Questions about Medicaid for baby

I am currently covered under my parents health ins (BCBS & BCN) but my baby will have to be on Medicaid because I simply cannot afford the insurance through my job nor can her father at his job. I keep getting told about finding a pediatrician before the baby is born which I know means I have to find one I like who accepts Medicaid... What I am confused about is when do I go to apply for Medicaid for the baby- before or after birth? How long does it take to get approved? I do know that my insurance covers the initial post-natal visits so at least those are taken care of - but that doctor won't be my daughters actual pediatrician which worries me...soo how soon should I take my daughter in to be seen by the pediatrician I chose?..I'm not sure how to ask the questions I have so if they dont make sense I apologize in advance. I'm extremely confused thinking about it. 20+ Similar Discussions Found

@cking729,
after talking to my co-worker.......does anybody have any idea if my post natal visits only apply to checkups on me or the baby & me or just the baby?
