Uninsured And Pregnant In Nyc
Posted: 01-24-04 10:25am

Confused I hope to get some idea on how I can access healthcare being uninsured. One of the hospitals in nyc has quoted a huge sum of money for me to have my baby there. How can my costs be reduced?!

Well I didnt have any insurance, and if your in a lower income bracket then you are qualified for some thing called medicaid...It covers all the costs of being pregnant and having the baby..Thats what I am on, and I haven't had to pay one dimel....Good luck, just go to ur healthdept/dss..I dunno what its called in newyork, check around..

A word of the wise though...In wisc. The father must repay the birthing expence if the pregnany woman had the child using medicaid or medical assistance!!!!! I am pretty sure that applies for every state that offeres medical assistance!
