We get it and they keep the card. That is something that must be changed. - EDAngry Citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346011574172984715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729134734350339898.post-80779308831607116062012-06-22T07:51:33.928-04:002012-06-22T07:51:33.928-04:00I found out over a year after the fact that not on...I found out over a year after the fact that not only had the home applied for, but received medicaid in my name! Furthermore I was told my Medicaid card was being held at the "bank"! I went to the bank to get "MY" Medicaid card, and the staff didn't want to give me "My" card, instead they offered to give me a photo copied reproduction of "MY" card, I had to argue with them that if I was off visiting friends or relatives far from the home or out of state, and needed attention, especially after hours, a poorly reproduced piece of paper was just that, I had to point blank ask them if they were refusing to hand over "MY" card. Only then did they back peddle and give in, stating that they just hold on to them so we don't lose them! I'm a GROWN MAN, I even handle my own meds without losing them, I think I can handle a credit card type health card!! If you show up at a hospital without that card and the magnetic strip on the back with ALL your info, good luck getting help with your piece of paper!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
