I am hoping someone here has been through this process and can help answer some questions. We are a week away from our sibling group coming to live with us. We are adopting three children from Nevada and we are in North Carolina. I have been making plans and doctor appointments so the boys will not be without their medication (ADHD). The social worker from their state says it may take a couple of months to transfer their medicaid card. The children are 4E eligible. I am still not sure exactly what that means. She says I may need to find a doctor and pharmacy that will accept their Nevada card or that we pay for their medical visits along with their meds and be reimbursed somehow. This seems strange... I hope someone can share their experience and maybe give me other options.
