medicaid covering epi?

My friend told me yesterday that medicaid did not pay for the epi his gf got, and that it was like 1,500 or something ridiculous like that. Anyone heard of this, or know from personal experience?. I know it all varies from state to state, but just in general?

I have never heard of medicaid not covering it..I have already had 2 childern and it was covered when I had them.

I actually was just googling this, and your topic was the second thing that came up, I was just reading all the responses, lol. Thanks. And thank you to everyone for answering! It seems that they don't cover the circumcision though? How much does that cost?

They pay for it.

i also just asked this, it varies my doctors office says 350,
it depends on what your doctor wants to charge

They pay for both..Medicaid pays for everything at least it did with both of my other pregnancies

circumsicion, at least in florida, is not covered by medicaid. i asked people on baby gaga and my doctor, medicaid will cover everything after the baby is born except circumcision.

Medicaid quit covering circs a few years ago

if you get a bill for the epi, just send it into medicaid- what happens is, the doc that does the epi may be from outside the hospital and may not have all your insurance info.

And my baby's circumcision cost us $200. It depends on the doctor. Ask your gyno as well as the pediatricians office to see the difference. My gyno did a great job on my little mans "little man" LOL

It covered mine as well.

I had Arkansas medicaid and they paid for mine....they paid for everything.
