Question by Whitney: Need help with employer insurance- I found out pregnant after hired on but covered under temporary insurance??
I have been working for a company since August 9th, 2007 through a staffing agency. On January 14th, 2008 I got hired w/ the company. The staffing agency is allowing me to continue my health insurance coverage/benefit program for my “step” Son and I until the 90 day mark and as long as I want after. At 90 days, the company that I am working fors insurance will kick in. The coverage with the staffing agency is “Starbridge Select” through Cigna and is considered “COBRA” ( I think, atleast it states COBRA in the explanation of benefits handbook)

So, I found out I am pregnant January 21st, which is a week after I get hired. After researching, the “COBRA Starbridge Select Insurance with the staffing agency” only covers:
In-Hospital Medical Expense Benefit:

Question by ~mama2danica~: 32 weeks pregnant and losing my insurance!?!?
I am asking this question for a second time… now that I have included the state I live in. Thanks!
So, I am 32 weeks pregnant and have had insurance through my job this entire time. But, just recently I found out that I am on the verge of losing my insurance because they are cutting back my hours. I have looked into medicaid, but they say it takes 45 days to approve someone, and I def. need some relief before then, considering I am due in 56 days! I heard of something called “emergency medicaid” but can’t find out much info about it. Does anyone know how that works? I am sure I will qualify for medicaid, it’s just a matter of me getting approved quickly. I was wondering if I go into the hospital without insurance, will they deny me an epidural or any pain relief? Will I be treated with minimal care? I am pretty freaked out about being treated like crap at the hospital. Anyone have any thoughts on my situation??
I live in Colorado, if you’re wondering.
