Moving to Sioux City....Medicaid questions! Please help!
Hello everyone,
My name is Sheri and I am going to be moving to either to Sioux City area or to Vermilion SD area...not entirely sure yet. Anywho, I currently have an IL medical card for myself and my 6 year old son. My issue is this, my fiancee who is actually the one who has been offfered a job in sioux city, is reliant on anti seizure medication for a brain tumor (he has had 6 weeks of radiation treatments for it). Becuase of some issues with his last employer (they really put the screws to him!!!) and the disability insurance, he was forced to take out what we thought was cheaper insurance--boy were we wrong! We checked everywhere we could and the company seemed perfectly ligit, but as it turns out it was a ripoff. His required medications are going to now cost about $600 for a 30 day supply. Obviously thats a problem for most people--including us. We're already struggling and this may prove to be catastrophic if he doesnt get his medications!!! I spoke with my caseworker here in IL and she told me that if we got married I could add him onto my medical card and then he would have eligibility for help too. However, we are moving out to Sioux City next month and Im really not sure if we could qualify in Iowa. We are a family of three, and he will gross about $2300 a month with this new job. I will not have any income for a while, until we get settled and I can find a job and child care for my son. Can anyone here please please give me any advice in how to find out if we could qualify in IA like here in IL? Please help!!! We are very very excited to be moving, but if we dont get him some insurance with the ability to get his medications, we could lose this upcoming job...and he will certainly have grand mawl siezures again...
