Applied for Medicaid - now what?

I went through the process for Medicaid. I am not sure what to expect now, other than "I will be contacted within the next 15-45 days".

I'm also scared on whether or not they will cover me. I am jobless but a full-time student *****ceives Stipend checks. I am worried they may decline me because of this, but the real issue is that these checks won't help me with my problems medically. Will they interview me before accepting or declining? They don't even know why I am applying for Medicaid, which is not insurance at least to my knowledge it's only to help through a certain situation, right?

I'm so confused and lost and scared. I don't know where to go for any real simply put detailed information about this and this process.

I have a lot on my plate, with uncontrolled hypertension and high risk (if i don't have already) for diabetes as my mother was just diagnosed and everyone in her side of the family had it, and my grandfather had congenital heart failure and I now suffer from edema.

What are my real chances of getting help?
