My son is going to be born on July 2nd & he needs insurance how do I sign him up and I'm on united health with my parents but I would like him to be on Medicaid & I'd like to switch to Medicaid myself

Take the mothers copy of the birth certificate down to the social services office as soon as he's born and let them know you want him on medicaid. They may may not let you on medicaid if you are not pregnant when you sign. I have now but it ends 3 months after the baby is born.

If yu get it while your pregnant the baby is covered for 30 days after he is born.

In TN a woman cannot get medicaid unless she is pregnant or cannot afford or get insurance elsewhere. It differs state to state.

Well, I was on Medicaid when I had my son and it automatically gave him Medicaid also. But you on the other hand have to qualify to get Medicaid after the baby is born. That's how I have it done in fl anyways.
