Medicaid has caught on that adoptive families are using them to keep our costs down and has authorized the hospitals to "hold the baby hostage" from discharge until the adoptive family commits to the bill and pays in full in some cases.
I'm confused by this idea. How are adoptive families "using" anything if the infant is not legally their child at birth?? This makes zero logical sense to me. (can someone else maybe clarify for a newbie to all of this??)
I'll be sure to look into the idea of it all though..see where Medacaid stands in our area prior to a situation. Frankly, I'd question the attorney supplying this information, seek out proof of this from the attorney him/herself and myself independently, and be sure that the information isn't a scam in and of itself...sounds fishy to me :confused:
