Ok first I do have Medicare and Medicare Advantage plan ( its for people with disabilities ) but it is a HMO plan and it wont allow me to see a doctor outside of the network area. I am currently with family in another state ( 1600 miles away ) till Oct then I am going to be moving someplace else ( from where I was living and where my insurance currently works ). So I cant switch my HMO plan to where I am now because I wont be able to switch it to where I move to until the new enrollment period in 2015. So its all a big mess. The only out of state coverage I have is emergency care. I am 7 weeks pregnant now and wondering if I should go into the ER to have them check on the pregnancy? At least get a doctor to see me until I get my insurance straighten out is my thought. Its better than not seeing a doctor till my second trimester, right? I found some pregnancy clinics but they only confirm the pregnancy or its only for teen moms which I am not. I am not high risk and its my second pregnancy so I know what I should do to take care of myself. But I would feel better to be checked out in the early weeks. I cant afford to pay out of pocket ( who can ) and there is no option for temp health care coverage now.
