Switching medicaid while in college-moving states?

Question

I am attending a state university in NY for grad school, which means that becoming a NY resident would save me about 9,000 dollars a year.  However, I have medicaid from PA and need medical procedures done and I have to take a medicine daily or risk death.  My past strategy (undergrad) has been to keep my PA medicaid, have my mom mail my prescriptions, and get other procedures (tests, specialist appointments, etc.) done during breaks back in PA.  However, now that I live off campus and want NY residency, this could complicate things.  I rely on my loans and my family for support and I absolutely could not afford just survival medication without medicaid, but I am also at the point of telling doctors that I won't be getting a test done because I can't afford the credit risk for my loans if medicaid refused to cover it out of state.

I really need advice about what to do.  Suck up an extra $9,000 in loan dept and risk my health from procedure delays?  Risk lapse in coverage and loosing the medicine I need to survive if I try to switch?

You can transfer your medicaid from state to state with no penalty, but it won't happen instantly. I suggest you make the change when you know you have no medical procedures or appointment needed for about 3 months. You can get a 3 month prescription. 

You can make a change of address as soon as you establish it via a lease and get utilities put into your name. As for residency, you may find you have to establish a 6 month or more residency in a new state before it is considered for instate tuition. 

You also need to be sure your parents are not counting you as one of the members of their household when they claim head of household credit in their taxes.

Medicaid is Federal; state has nothing to with it. Contact the office where you signed up for medicaid and they will assist you with the right office in NY. That's where you need to start or you could mess up your medicaid. They will walk you through the steps.

Its very rare to find a genius lenders they says in the internet i am Christine Chalie a widower who is seeking for help in the streets of America because i have no money and i have three kids  to look after, There was a day i was walking along the street where i live, I saw an old friend of mine and  we both exchange greetings in the process we started contemplating about the issue of life in that process i explain all my problems to her and she told me that she can not help me with any thing now that she can only introduce me to a loan firm called OCEANIC WAVE LENDERS LTD.
And when she told me about them i first doubt if this would work because i have been scammed before by so many false loan firm who claim to be what they are not, Because to my own observation they do this by requesting for cost of delivery or cost of transfer in other to get what they wanted from you, So when my friend first told me about it, The first question i ask her was that am i going to take responsibility of any fees like the cost of transfer or cost of delivery before i get my loan? and she said no that the firm will take charge of all that but i have to insured my self and loan with an insurance company and after which i receive my loan i will refund back all the money they spent to transferred or delivered my loan to me, and i ask her again if they can give me a loan with out collateral and she said they will but i have to send them Feasibility report on what i wanted to use the money for and they will send me an application form to fill all my information.
And my friend gave me their Email address and i contacted them, they now requested for all my information, feasibility report on what i want to use the fund for and i presented every thing to them along with my attach copies of driving license and national identification cards and to my own surprise with the period of one week my loan request of $250,000(two hundred and fifty thousand dollars )was approved and i started  my business with in the short period of 5 years i paid back all the money i borrowed from them and today i am one of their reliable customer the most beautiful thing about them was that if you can referred up to 20 customer to them with in two years you are entitle to win a any car that cost the sum of $20,000 or if you needed the money they can also give you and if you can also referred up to 10 person's before the end of the year you are entitle to win $6,000 or you are entitled to visit any of the best resort center of your choice at any country out side your country during the celebrity period of XMAS.
Today i can boast of my self that my kids are attending one of the best school in Europe and thanks to my friend Sandy White who introduce me to the firm at the first place and thanks for to the Almighty who gave me the heart to take the risk that make's my dream come to realization so if you wishes to contact them and get vital information about them you can reach them via this Email Address:oceanic_wave@w.cn or oceanic.wave@yahoo.com Please i do hope to hear from you if you are interested and this my email address: christi.chalie@gmail.com because it will be really great to have more customers been referred by me and you know what that means thanks i will be waiting for you.
