medicaid question

Most peds take some type of medicaid. NJ medicaid uses HMO's to service the kids. I would suggest you find a pediatrician you like and find out if/what type of Medicaid they take. My pediatrician use to have NJ horizion but switched mid year to another plan. I was able to switch my kids to the new HMO so they could stay with their regular pediatrician. If the kids are already in the system, and have one type of medicaid HMO, but you want to swtich it to what your Ped takes, you can do that. There are no copays. You need references if you are referred to a specialist. All covered prescriptions are free.
