...and I don't know what to do because I'm on 8 different medications. I got a letter in the mail saying that they "didn't receive confirmation of your ongoing medically frail condition from your health plan", that there was a "failure to provide all required information" and that we failed to cooperate in "verifying income."
I don't know what happened because I had my son fill out the forms for me. He said he gave them everything they asked for. I don't have any faith in Family and Social Services because they don't really give a damn about truly helping people. They're just another heartless bureaucratic entity, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm so sick of the American health care system. The doctors and nurses are great, but the insurance companies and politicians who take donations from them, which are really legalized bribes, don't give a damn about the average person with health issues.
It's not my fault I have complex PTSD, agoraphobia, and claustrophobia. I hate American society, now. It feels like the people in charge just don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. I am in pain every day and all I do is work to manage it. I'm so tired of the heartlessness of it all.

Ring them or get your son to and ask what the problem is. It might be just a mistake.
I am in the UK and when I hear stories like yours I feel very sad. Our NHS is far from perfect but at least its free at the point of use which is a blessing.
my advice from someone who handles these things, reapply. Get all the necessary forms again and redo everything. Their computer system and how they are done suck. Stuff gets lost in the system because more than one person handles the application. Try again. You could also call and ask them to explain to you what you supposedly did or didn’t do right. So you can make certain those things are correct. Just trying to help. Good luck.
I have read the comments and I can tell you first hand since covid the state programs are a mess, at least is my area. Most workers work from home now or back and forth. The benefits that were available during covid have run out and everyone that was eligible has to redo their applications. They’re changing requirements and benefits. It’s a nightmare for everyone involved. Best bet is to talk to someone and redo your application.
try to go online and reapply and go Tuesday with all the info they need and tell them what happened. I’m in severe constant pain and distress with neck injury and sore throat and head pounding for 2 years now everyday can’t eat or sleep from nausea and dizziness too. I’m thankful I have Medicaid but the doctors here have not been any help to me and I’ve been laying in bed in constant torment. I wish these insurance company’s were Godly and pharmaceutical company’s . I wish we wasn’t obligated to go to certain doctors and can’t leave the state with Medicaid . I am thankful don’t get me wrong but I’m suffering 24/7 and lost my primary care doctor when I could no longer work and only a handful will take Medicaid . A lot of times doctors don’t want to see you because you are on Medicaid I’ve heard I think they have to wait a while to get paid. I may be wrong but they don’t get paid as much like if it were reg insurance . Or that’s what I was told . It’s a shame how much meds are and how much doctors and hospitals charge you just for a Tylenol. Sometimes churches will help you out like help pay for utilities or medicines I’ve been told. It should be an easy fix for you if you find the right person. Praying you will ……
This is a Crying Shame. I have been trying since Feb. of this year to just change my address from one county to another. All I get when calling is their AI machine, then I leave a msg. & NO one ever calls me back. I tired of this so stopped calling. I, finally, got a letter in the mail that I had a phone appt. --This was in late March. No one showed up on the phone & I waited for a half hour! Then, I called to see what happened --NO one ever called me back. That was Months ago! I went into the county office last week where I now live, took a no., waited for a half-hour & the worked handed me a 25 page form to reapply re. medicaid! I will be filling out the form, going back into the office (can't get anywhere by phone), and hope that I don't get cut off as I hear So many have all over the USA. This could be lack of staff, or maybe computer error, or perhaps done on purpose to get people off & on to private insurance, and in most cases will be unable to afford private insurance, so No insurance. A crying Shame~
