My case worker screwed up my Medicaid so now I have no coverage: cancelled my pdoc appt yesterday. Meds running low- some very. I'm at the bar. Just don't care. I hate people that would not turn my papers in on time when I did everything I was supposed to.

Can you turn in your own paperwork? That way next time this won't happen.
Your case worker is only human. I am a case manager also, and very overwhelmed by the amount of work to be done, and the amount Medicaid reimburses my company makes the case load very unmanageable. Maybe he/she got sick or had a lot of emergencies.
Have a little compassion for your worker. Make a phone call yourself to Medicaid to get it reinstated if you have time to post you have time to do that.

How do I do that? I always have to go through the worker.

The pineapple cake I'm eating goes well with the beer btw.

Well if you have agreed that they be your rep, they can help you, but it is still your app or recert, so you can always do that yourself.

Aww, Moose, notfairnotfairnotfair!!! I'm REALLY sorry that you don't care enough to fight back & make that case worker get on the ball. Get the supervisor! Pound some desks!

Yeah, I know. You did your job. That should be it. I'm so sorry the system is broken & we end up having to make other people do their jobs too. I'm sorry this has happened to you.

Did your case worker ar least promise to work on fixing things? Can you get some rest maybe & call tomorrow & see whether you can get a date when coverage will be reinstated?

**hugs**
Roadrunner

p.s. Oh, lad has great news! Sounds like a good solution!

Well if you feel well enough to take on the paperwork that is involved, it is not that bad. Usually you just have to submit a recert app every year, send in proof of income-copy of your SSDI or income.
I am really sorry this has happened, it was that persons job to do that for you, and if they couldn't let their supervisor know.
You can call their supervisor and see if they can help, you were counting on this getting done.

Glad you made it home OK and got a little TLC as well!

Hope things look better in the morning and you can get some assistance with how to get papers filed.

Don't know if this will help, but, my daughter has to drop papers off, and she signs a book that she was there, so she takes a pic of her papers, by where she signs her name. Sorry for your bad day

Yeah!!! And if they're generic they shouldn't be too expensive.

So glad you got this done before the weekend!

Hang in there & keep us posted.
