We will mail your application for full Medicaid benefits to DHHS within the next 1-2 days. You will be contacted by DHHS within the next 2-4 weeks about your application. DHHS may contact you by letter or they may call you to schedule an appointment to review your application. If you do not hear from them in 3-4 weeks, you need to contact them to check on the status of your application. Call DHHS at 402-323-7455.
Remember, approval for presumptive eligibility is not the same as being approved for Medicaid. Your PE coverage is only temporary while your eligibility for full Medicaid benefits is determined.
It is very important that you respond promptly to all requests for information from the state regarding your Medicaid application. The costs of your continuing prenatal care, as well as labor and delivery costs, will only be covered if you are approved for full Medicaid benefits.
