Is it? It wasn't that long ago when hospitals straight up kicked patients for having no health insurance

They tend to say "do you have an insurance card?"

Why would they just upfront ask if you have medicaid specifically?

Its weird they asked that because there was a woman walking around for registering everyone in, and we gave our insurance info already.

Maybe TC looks poor? Hence the "no offense"

Quite a few. My dad has been in and out of hospitals for the last 8 years and I'm his primary caregiver.

Literally worked in healthcare for years. Meet more.

Edit: granted, this could just be a registrar he encountered and not a nurse.

I have no clue. And this was AFTER we got put into a room, beyond the waiting room.

I dont think anyone is doubting you are in the ER

They are doubting that the nurse instantly asked you about medicaid vs asking about insurance

Nurse didnt instantly ask; idk why, she asked just before she went got the rabies vaccine to be administered. It was weird since the insurance lady already came by and took all our info.

We have that here. One medical facility only accepts patients with insurance. If you don't have it, you get sent to Huntsville Hospital across town.

Because she's probably from the billing department and not a nurse?

If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

likely due to the way the healthcare system works.
machinery or medical provided by hospital staff is costly and requires a technical amount of knowledge to operate, they say the training and operation fees behind this is expensive. Thus should a patient not be able to afford the costs needed to seek those services provided by the hospital(s), they will be dump to another facility that may be able to offer those services. However not all hospitals will help the patients out in that manner, they will void any services to them and kick them out of the hospital.

at least thats how it was for a while, different states have their own views on what they call patient dumping may even be illegal in some states with the courts in favor of the patient should it occur

Sometimes when they go to run your insurance for medications and stuff, whoever took it down didn't write it correctly and it makes it pop up as you not being an active member of said insurance.

Other times it's unclear what forms they should be using to get your medications okay'd. Your card will say a bunch of stuff, but it'll just go through Caremark/Escripts/Medicaid. Its not super cut and dry sometimes.

Generally, if it's there's issues theyd just ask to verify the info on your forms though. More often than not it's something dumb like an incorrect zip code or something. There are definitely folks that let their insurance lapse and still try to use it though.

for my family size (6) in my state you have to make well over $100k/year for your kids to not qualify for medicaid
if TC isnt lying the nurse was prolly trying to advise on programs available for medicaid recipients
i had medicaid for ~4 years after my wife had something that almost killed her
went to 3 different childrens hospitals, about a dozen pediatricians (we moved around to see specialists), and more urgent cares than i can remember
only time medicaid came up wrt treatment was when a facility didn't accept it or there were resources we weren't taking advantage of
