Does NYC medicaid pay for International birth?

I wanted to pay the birth of my daughter with my insurance but medicaid took over what should i do?

  • I was never giving the bill of what I owed because medicaid stuck there nose in my business and paid for it.I never wanted that to happen.I am a working man and could of paid it back myself with the insurance that I been paying for on these occasions. My name isn't even signed on the papers that I accept medicaid. Now its to late for me to use my insurance because by the time I received the bill it was already paid for. Now Medicaid filed a court order against me that they want me to pay it back. I'm being told I could be put in jail for 3 months because of this. Am I wrong?Seriously?Is there anything i could do about this problem? Please help? Now I owe $2800 because i wasn't allowed to use my own insurance.Wheres the Justice? There was never a bill giving to me until it was to late.My insurance company had a time limit for the amount of time I was allowed to enroll my daughter. By the time I got the medicaid bill it was to late to enroll my daughters birth. My insurance company would of paid it back in full and i wouldn't of had to pay them back.

Contact the hospital, and explain you never received a bill and didn't ask medicaid to be involved. Ask they return that payment and bill your medical insurance for the balance instead. If they can't or won't help, enlist the aid of a competent attorney.

As a "working man" you need to take responsibility about knowing what you are required to do. You had 30 days to enroll your daughter; this has nothing to do with when or if you get a bill. You missed the deadline. It's against federal law to enroll your daughter after that point, until the next open enrollment period.

You chose not to enroll your daughter on the insurance plan. Therefore, you will be responsible for the bill. Even if your daughter had been enrolled in Medicaid, you still could have enrolled her on the insurance. (And if your wish was to not accept Medicaid, then you certainly should have.) Why didn't you enroll the daughter within 30 days of her birth? The Medicaid transaction wouldn't have even happened at that point, so you must have had some other reason.
