I live in Texas and I'm very familiar with Medicaid. If they didn't retro-activate the Medicaid, they will not pay for anything. When is your effective date of coverage? The doctors know to that if they don't file on Medicaid they can bill you all they want. If they do file on Medicaid, It's against the law for them to bill you. Keep in Mind though that there's a 95 day deadline to file any claim to Medicaid.
I have a question for those of you who used the Chantix to kick the cigarettes. I have smoked on and off for years, and I have quit several times for long periods of time, but this time I am in need of some sort of assistance doing it (the thought of no cigarettes is worse for me than the thought of no norco ever was). I don't want to spend any more money on cigarettes, I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, I always have, pretty weird for a smoker, huh?
For 17 months i am still undx will get tests back in a few days ...and i want to finally quit smoking but they want me to wait to fill the prescription until all my tests come back now im getting worried ...
You would have to change tricare regions and find a new doctor...I was going to go home to have my son but my husband is stationed in Alaska and we are both from arkansas so it definitely wasn't worth it to us to have to switch tricare regions and find another doctor that takes tricare..but he's active duty army so I really don't know how it works for the airforce..
m going to now is a civilian ob and they accept tricare and deliver at the Nellis base here in vegas and at only 1 civilian hospital (Summerlin) which is the hospital I want to give birth at. I just looked up the insurances that Summerlin accepts and tricare was on it. Knowing that tricare covers everything you pretty much pay for food cost and that's probably around 16 bucks! I was just curious to if. I would have to pay anything to Summerlin even though they expect tricare.
Certainly it's better if you cut down on the cigarettes. Ask your OB or RE to prescribe Chantix for you. I hear it's ok to take during pregnancy and it really helps with trying to quit smoking.
Know you're not a lone if you can't quit, many women aren't able to completely quick during pregnancy and the baby turns out okay. I'm not endorsing it of course, just letting you know that you're not the only that's pregnant and could just cut back.
Although Chantix does not contain any nicotine, it acts on nicotine receptors in the brain. This is how the drug works to help people stop smoking. By binding to nicotine receptors, it blocks the effects of nicotine at those sites, helping to prevent the pleasurable effects of smoking. However, Chantix doesn't just bind to nicotine receptors; it also acts a little bit like nicotine, which may help to prevent symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
By the way, you can always tell that a drug is affecting brain neurotransmitters when you see those warnings they give out, as you do with Chantix, and they warn that they can cause suicidal and violent thoughts and the like. This warning is a dead giveaway that the drug is affecting similar things that antidepressants and anti anxiety drugs and anti psychotics are playing around with.
Not that I'm pro Chantix, but allow me to play devils advocate for a minute.
When one contemplates quitting and then sets out to do it, there is a profound loss.....like losing your best friend, and we all have to deal with. I myself grieved long and hard. Could your depressed state be that you have finally come to terms with the fact that it is your time to quit?
I used Chantix and mourned the loss but I also used it before it was linked to "possible" suicide.
That's not true at all!! There are ppl who have step children and dnt have to take the test to be enrolled in tricare. Maybe he had his own personal doubt's.
time and the amount of time that has elapsed since your use of Chantix. It has been almost 3 1/2 months for me and I am still getting urges and am still quick tempered, just not as often as before : )
I think we will always struggle, quitting is life altering especially if you have smoked for a long time (38 yrs. for me.) I know it will get easier and the cravings will only happen every once in a while and sometimes temper and irritability isn't about addiction but something else.
My suggestion to you is try stopping the chantix and see how you feel. Then you could resume taking it if you feel the withdrawals and cravings come back really strong? Might want to ask a Doctor on that one just to be sure.
As far as I know the headaches are part of the withdrawal and I have a bad one right now.
I googled chantix and sore breasts and found these comments, so I should add my thoughts since someone else might want to know too! This is my second time on Chantix. The first time was fine. This time, though, my breasts have been swollen and tender for almost a month! I'm definitely not pregnant, so this is the only 'different' thing I've been doing (taking the Chantix). I am relieved to find out I'm not the only one.
