@cking729,
PP doctor visits are only for you because you were pregnant not the baby. If the baby isn't covered under your private insurance then you can't take the baby to a pediatrician without having to pay cash. Post Partum visit includes: check up of your uterus, healing of the area, questions about depression and questions about birth control. b

I have the same questions but I think calling the 800 number is best because they can answer all your questions with the right info

@anabarrera,
Well my co-workers mom told me to apply for medicaid now so that everything is in place for once the baby is born & find a pediatrician before hand & that's who i'll go to after the baby. After I thought about it I figured the visits would be just for me idky i was thinking they'd be for the baby too. I'm so frustrated with the people who work at th DHS by me. : ( I really wish I didnt need to be bothered with them. B

@cking729,
I have medicaid for myself because i am pregnant, once you have your baby he or she is automatically covered by medicaid for one year and when you are in the hospital your baby should be assigned to a doctor who accepts medicaid..... U cannot apply for medicaid for your child until baby is born.... There is the medicaid number you can call and find out which doc accepts medicaid for the baby too

@cking729,
I know some states the Medicaid will be retroactive 30-90 days before the date applied.
