so confused

i am in augusta georgia. i am waiting for my medicaid application to be done i just applied for medicaid. how long does the evaluations take? does any state take your medicaid or does it have to be in georgia? does any one know a doc that will accept it in georgia? where do i start after i get my medicaid card? sorry so many questions, but i really need to know!! thanx for all of your replies

I think you would have to get approval to use your card in another state. It has been years since I was on Medicaid, so not positive. Also, I have heard that it is hard to find doctors who will take Medicaid because the government reimburses at such a lower rate than they can collect from private insurance or private pay. I'm sure there are some out there somewhere, but you may have to do some looking.

Good luck!
