How long does it take to get your adopted child's name changed on medicaid? We were told that we would keep the same #, they would just change the name on both our boys.. We adopted back in mid Nov and here it is almost Jan 1st -still no name change. It's frustrating on many levels. We have to take them to the dr under their old names bc medicaid wont pay unless you bill w/that name. We added them to our insurance (effective Jan 1 because we just switched insurance and didn't add them prior to the switch), so in order for OUR insurance to pay, it has to be billed under their new names but in order for mediciad to pick up the rest it has to be billed under their old names.. hmm Does anyone else see a problem with this??!
Does anyone know who I can contact to see what the heck is going on? OUr CW says she's done her part on this & the adoption subsidy (which still isnt showing up this month either).
HELP!

Naca, we completed the Adoption early Sept and I have received no subsidy and his Medicaid is still not switched. I have just recently started raising Holy Hell . . . I will send you a PM with the name of the person I contacted, although Marion County. She was very helpful to me and probably would direct you to the right person. CEU takes care of the subsidy as well and if they havent' got the paperwork rolling to open his new Medicaid account, they haven't notified Kidtraks of the Adoption either. My guess is your Casework didn't get the paperwork to the right place, just like mine. I wonder if we share a CW . . . I sent you all the info you need to start making a pest of yourself and get the job done, I just went right around the CW.
