You really need to provide more information in order to get answers, suggestions, support from this Forum.
Or you could just fill out the Medicaid forms yourself and apply for it. The state and the taxpayer shouldn't have to take care of everything.
-Request a Medicaid application form
-Fill it out
-Place it in the envelope that comes with the forms. The address is already on it so is the postage
-Put it in a mailbox
- what state and county do you live in?
- how old are you?
- what is DES?
- How were you paying for your insulin pump in the past?
- Are you on disability income?
- Do you have a case worker who is assigned to you (for Medicaid)?
- Are you living independently or in a facility?
Call Medicare and ask them if you are on it. If no, ask if you can have a letter stating that for Medicaid purposes. If yes, ask them how you got on it when you never applied.
I started collecting SS at 62. Because of that, I did not need to apply for Medicare, my card came automatically.
