Nobody answers the phone. Ever. When I got to a dept thru menus and left msg, no body returns calls. Ever. Very very concerned about a septic tank nearby me and on the lake. Filled out form, neighbors call too. What are they doing all day?

Medicaid applications are better off going to another county. Especially if you’re a disabled veteran who needs help on the application since a lot of our stuff doesn’t count towards the application. It can get very confusing. If you need any help filling it out your best bet is to go to Dekalb in fort Payne. She very helpful over there and answers questions that help you feel better about the application process. Between 3 states that I’ve filled Medicaid out for, this county was very close to a nightmare compared to other experiences. And no one should have to feel that way, especially when trying to get prenatal care.
