Finally some answers, sort of. We still don't know why my husband was put on Medicaid without applying for it and I was not, but when he called in to let them know what plan he was going to take, the specialist gave us some answers to our questions.

We are guessing that my husband was put on Medicaid when I called the Marketplace to change our address, which required us to fill out another insurance application, which raised a flag on our income level... Somehow, I just slipped through a little glitch in the system. That is just a guess though.

From the time my husband was put on Medicaid, we have 60-90 days to inform Blue Care Network and the Health Insurance Marketplace that he was put on Medicaid. We are allowed to continue paying for the policy that we have, but without any tax credits applied. That is something that we can not afford. After the 60-90 days, I will continue on our plan for one more billing period before I will have to call in to apply for Medicaid myself, or see if I can continue to slip through the system on my own plan. I am not counting on the latter though.

Anyway, I have somewhere around 90-120 days to determine if SCS will provide enough relief for me to have a permanent device installed. I am pretty sure that is more than enough time. I will find that out when I see my PM next week as well as what type of care I can expect if a permanent device is installed, if this is still the treatment plan that we are going to try, or if he would recommend another treatment plan.
