Glad to hear it's working out for you! That gives me a little more hope.
im on ssdi too, so i thought our insurance was the same.

I have mediCARE from ssdi- but also medi-cal (equivalent of your mediCAID) from the county. and yes it does open up more doors.

i dont understand why you cant have both? i think i get 916 a month, but i still qualify for the medical. together they call my plan dual choice. can i ask what state youre in?
Thanks for this!
