So I'm on Medicaid in the state I live in and I will be getting insurance through my new job, I just don't know when or how that will work. The job starts August 1st and I have no idea how that will effect paying for therapy (currently I don't). Likewise, I plan to move closer to my new job because my so plans to go to a universe nearby for his master's.
I'm sad too, because I want to remain in therapy.
Help?

After you start the paperwork for the new job, you can request the health insurance plan information from HR (or your boss if it is a small business). You can talk with HR/benefits or the insurance company about whether having the insurance means you have no Medicaid coverage (probably). They can also give you a list of what is covered and copays--that's how you can find out what your therapy will cost. If it is exorbitant, you can also talk with your T about finding a way to make it more affordable.
Congratulations on the job!
