I took all the necessary documents such as the letters that I received from USCIS stating that was application was received as well as the one for the biometrics appointment. I took my passport, utility bill and a letter of support from my parents indicating that they are financially supporting me.
They gave me a financial aid letter stating that I will be receiving free (there are copayments involved but very small amounts) coverage from the hospital that is valid for a year. I get to go to occupational therapy for only $5 per visit, unlimited visits as long as I have a prescription, which is very awesome. While I was there, they filled out a medicaid application and submitted it on my behalf. A couple of days ago, I received a letter from NYS Medicaid stating that I was approved for medicaid. I also requested that Fidelis should manage my medicaid so I am currently waiting for that approval. By the way, I applied at the hospital in mid October, my accident and surgery was in the last two weeks of September. Medicaid letter stated that my coverage is effective as of September 1, 2012, which is great that it's retroactive, which means I can submit the insurance info to the bills I received so the doctors can get reimbursed. I also contacted Fidelis while my application was pending and they wanted a letter from SSA stating that I applied for a number as well as the confirmation stamp that is on my biometrics letter stating that I have gotten fingerprinted. Hospital was a lot easier. I would suggest making an appointment with them. |
