I had called Medicaid a few weeks prior to that appointment and they said they would pay for one ultrasound after 14 weeks unless the doctor decided more were medically necessary. My doctor's (almost) exact words were "You're a Medicaid patient. We don't like to do an ultrasound before 34-36 weeks if you show signs of something being wrong." If I lived over by OKC or Tulsa or even Lawton I'd already have a different doctor but down here in little old Altus there isn't another one unless I want to drive 60-75 miles while in labor.
Is it just me or wouldn't you want to know a problem exists
before you're getting ready to deliver the baby? You know give the parents a little time to prepare for a less than perfect baby and if there is anything that will need to be done right away it can get setup - not running around at the last minute like a chicken with its head cut off.
