Medicaid And Ultrasound Question Posted: 12-09-05 09:46am


I have only had one ultrasound, and still do not know the sex of my baby. The one I did have wasn't supposed to have happened. I have a cyst on my left ovary. I was supposed to have gotten a sonogram (internal wand), but the tech couldn't see anything, so had to do a regular ultrasound. Since I was only 15 weeks at the time, it was still too early to tell what the sex was. Plus the baby kept squirming all around, not letting the tech get a good shot between the legs. My regular doc was out on her own maternity leave. I saw a practitioner. I asked if at my next appointment if I would get a ultrasound to look at the baby, since I would be almost 20 weeks. She said since I already had one that day that I wouldn't, because medicaid only pays for one. My sis-in-law, who had complications, said medicaid would pay for as many as are needed, depending on how it is coded. Since my first ultrasound was to look at the cyst and not the baby, then I should be able to get another one specifically to look at the baby. Anyone else know anything about how ultrasounds with medicaid work? We really want to know the sex of the baby, and I would lik for my husband an daughter to be able to see an ultrasound.

As long as the dr orders the ultrasound, it should be covered. Everything should be covered:)

Woohoo! I just got back from the doctor's. My regular doctor is back. I get to have another ultrasound to look at the baby friday, december 16th. I can't wait! My hubby will be able to be there, as well as my daughter if she wishes. Hopefully we will be able to tell girl or boy. We are hoping for a boy, but as long as we have a healthy baby.
