What to do, wife is 5 months pregnant and has no medical insurance in nevada.?

My wife is 5 months pregnant and no longer has medical insurance because she lost her job, not due to the fact shes pregnant, economy is bad, cutting down on employees. What do you do in a situation like this where medicaid takes 3 months to get. Is there any way to get taken care of in the state of Nevada? if so do you know where? any advice or someone to talk to would be great!!! Also, can a hospital deny you care when you have no health insurance?


Many people without health insurance use the emergency rooms as their primary care because they will not be sent away. Women, infants and children programs called WIC are set up to help in these situations, here is a link to their website http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/

I would contact them soon and they should help you find medical care. Also you can go to the hospital or ask your doctor to speak with their social worker who can help you through this process. Good luck with the health insurance and the baby


i need a lawyer in southern nevada that handles medical insurance claim issues?

I HAD AN INJURY OCCUR ON 12/17/06 WHERE AS I INJURED MY LOWER BACK. I HAVE TWO BULGING DISCS, ONE IS CRACKED AS WELL. I WAS ORDERED FOR SURGERY, AS I AM COVERED BY ANTHEM BC/BS. LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE SCHEDULED SURGERY ANTHEM HAS PUT MY CLAIM ON HOLD. I NEED A LAWYER WHO HANDLES THESE TYPES OF CASES WHOM I CAN CONTACT. IT HAS BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE MY INJURY HAPPENED AND STILL I HAVE YET TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.


Go to your yellow pages. ANY lawyer should be able to help you . . . for a fee. They ARE going to want you to put down a hefty retainer up front.

You're not saying why the claim is on hold, so I'm guessing they think it's work related or a pre-existing condition that you didn't disclose. Those would be two valid reasons for the health insurer to not pay. And a lawyer isn't going to help you "override" the reasons.

Having an injury that needed surgery 7 months ago, that you haven't taken care of yet, ALSO indicates that maybe the need isn't as great as you think it is (or else you would have the surgery, and worry about the payment later).

I live in Nevada, Im 8 mo. pregnant & I dont have medical insurance & I dont qualify 4 public assistance help!


I HAVE been paying outta pocket 4 my prenatal care & I have been looking for help since i found out i was pregnant thats when i found out i make too much for medicaid but insurance companies dont cover prenatal care unless u've been with them for 12mo


What about the father of your baby? Can't he help!!!! He did 1/2 of getting you pregnant!

Nevada must demand health care reform - Las Vegas Sun

Yet another study is out on a key indicator of the quality of life and, once again, Nevada ranks near the bottom of U.S. states.

The United Health Foundation ranked states on a number of health indicators, including insurance coverage, graduation rates, air pollution levels, infectious disease rates, immunization rates and crime levels.

The result: Nevada dropped three spots to No. 42 overall in the 2008 America's Health Rankings.

One of the more discouraging aspects of the study linked Nevada's comparatively unhealthy population with the state's low high school graduation rate.

Education is a vital contributor to health because consumers must be able to learn about, create and maintain healthy lifestyles and understand and participate in their options for care. Additionally, the less schooling people have, the higher their levels of risky health behaviors such as smoking, being overweight or having a low level of physical activity. The more schooling people have, the more money they earn, enabling them to purchase medical care and health insurance.
