4.


I’m enrolled in Medicaid, or my child is enrolled in Dr. Dynasaur, but we lost our cards in the disaster and I don’t know the numbers or our social security numbers. Can we still get medical care through Medicaid or Dr. Dynasaur?


Yes. For Medicaid, call the Green Mountain Care office to receive a replacement card. For Dr. Dynasaur, contact the Health Maintenance Organization that you selected to provide your benefits for Dr. Dynasaur.


5. Who can qualify for the Medicaid and Dr. Dynasaur programs?


Medicaid eligibility is based on income and household resources. The general categories of persons who may be eligible for Medicaid include individuals who are blind, disabled or over 65; families with children under 21; individuals with a temporary disability, aged 59 through 64, limited income or special circumstances, including current drug or alcohol treatment, victim of domestic violence or caring for a child or disabled person.


For Dr. Dynasaur, a child under age 19 living in Vermont who is a US citizen, permanent legal alien or refugee as determined by the Immigration and Naturalization Service is eligible if the family income is within the eligibility guidelines. Currently, a family of four can make up to $67,350.00 and still qualify for Dr. Dynasaur.


6.


Will my child be able to get emergency medical care if I cannot be reached by telephone?


Yes. In Vermont, a physician may provide medical treatment to a child if the physician believes that an attempt to secure consent from the parent or legal guardian would cause a delay in treatment that would increase the risk to the child’s life or health.


7. My child is living with a relative. Will my child be able to get medical care if I cannot be reached by telephone?


You can sign an authorization that would permit the person taking care of your child to consent to medical treatment for your child.


8.


I have a child in my home who was placed by the Department of Social Services. What will happen during an emergency if the child requires medical care?


You should contact the Agency that placed the child in your home for specific instructions as to how the child is to receive medical care during an emergency.
