Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 63 | Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with NJ medicaid coverage? I was approved last year to get treatment out-of-state and now I am looking for a 2nd opinion (also out-of-state). NJ is telling me I am not eligible. I find that hard to believe. I do hate to stereotype, but government workers have a tendency to be very blase about info; they say whatever comes to the top of their head at any given time and when you call back and talk to someone else, you get a different response every time!
I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions!

When Ive been told no by my insurance company I appeal and magically no turns into YES! Im sorry but I do not know if this would apply to medicaid. Are you allowed to appeal with that?
