I have not had the same experience of most peds accepting medicaid...my fs's ped. stopped accepting his hmo and switched to another, but this other hmo is not accepting any new patients in our county...i had a pretty good struggle finding a new ped. for him.
if you google nj medicaid, you shoud find a sight with the 5 different medicaid hmo's that foster kids are eligible for; then, you can click on each hmo and search for pediatricians in your area...it takes some time, and it is a good idea to get a dr. lined up before you get a placement, because things get really busy (happily so!) then. oh, it takes a month for the hmo to kick in, so you need to find a clinic or dr. who takes straight medicaid in the meantime- many hopsitals have a clinic you can use.
good luckl!
