I recently sent Medicaid paper work don’t know if it got there yet. I was denied which they said I didn’t send what they needed. Can someone care to tell me what needs to be turned in.

A) I understand your situation. When applying for Medicaid, the specific requirements for paperwork can vary depending on your state and individual circumstances. However, here are some common documents and information that are often required when applying for Medicaid:

1. Proof of Identity: This could include a government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.) for you and any other individuals applying for Medicaid.
2. Proof of Citizenship or Immigration Status: Documents like birth certificates, naturalization certificates, or immigration documents might be required.
3. Proof of Income: You’ll likely need to provide recent pay stubs, tax returns, or other proof of your household’s income. This is crucial for determining your eligibility for Medicaid.
4. Proof of Residency: You might need to provide documents showing your current address, such as utility bills or rental agreements.
5. Social Security Numbers: Social Security numbers for all household members applying for Medicaid are usually required.
6. Health Insurance Information: If you have any other health insurance coverage, you’ll need to provide information about it.
7. Medical Records: In some cases, you might need to provide medical records or doctor’s statements if you have specific medical needs.
8. Proof of Dependents: If you’re applying for Medicaid for your dependents, you’ll need to provide documentation verifying their relationship to you.
9. Other Financial Documents: Depending on your situation, you might need to provide information about assets like bank accounts, property, and vehicles.
10. Application Form: Ensure that you’ve filled out the Medicaid application form accurately and completely.

Please note that these are general guidelines, and the specific requirements can vary by state and individual situation. It’s crucial to check with your state’s Medicaid office or the agency handling Medicaid applications in your area to get accurate and up-to-date information on the required documents for your application.

If you were denied Medicaid because you didn’t send in all of the required paperwork, you can appeal the denial. To do this, you will need to submit the missing paperwork along with a written explanation of why you believe you were incorrectly denied. You can find more information about appealing a Medicaid denial on the website of your state’s Medicaid agency.

Here are some additional tips for submitting Medicaid paperwork:

• Make sure that all of the required documents are complete and signed.
• Double-check the addresses and phone numbers on the documents.
• Send the paperwork by certified mail, return receipt requested.
• Keep a copy of all of the paperwork for your records.

Again, if you’ve already been denied due to missing paperwork, I recommend contacting the Medicaid office or agency that denied your application. They should be able to provide you with specific information about what documents were missing or incomplete and guide you on how to proceed.
