Shaun Ted is right.And sorry buddy.No I didn't need a social security number to add my wife to my insurance policy.They just used my wife's visa number until.I got her a social security number.I was out of options my wife needed insurance.Right then and there.If you have to take your wife to the baby doctor.It is 250.00 a visit.All of the doctors visits combined.Are over 4,000 cash.The hospital bill for a baby is 12,000 the anesthesiologist is 1,500.The assistant to the baby doctor is 3,000.
Your wife is not eligible for Medicaid until she is in country for five years.So they will not help.The good news is Medicaid will pay the hospital bill the anesthesiologist.And the doctor assistant.Any test or extra examinations.They will not pay for.One test for anemia is 404.16 Ultrasound is 500.00
This is just a example of the medical bills you could run into.Insurance for your wife or your girlfriend is mandatory.There is a number of government run programs in the states.That will help.But they are well hidden.You usually have to know somebody who works in the system.To even hear about half of these programs.
