Can I use Medicaid or HealthWave if I travel out of state?

Emergency services are services required when there is a sudden or unforeseen situation or occurrence or a sudden onset of a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in: • Placing the patient’s health in serious jeopardy; or • Serious impairment to bodily functions; • Serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. • Serious harm to self or others due to an alcohol or drug abuse emergency; or • Injury to self or bodily harm to others; or • With respect to a pregnant woman who is having contractions: (a) there is inadequate time to effect a safe transfer to another hospital before delivery or, (b) transfer may pose a threat to the health or safety
