Anyone here used Remistart?

Hi guys.
Well, my state employee insurance ends June 17th 2015.
I could get student insurance in September -awesome gold level coverage-for $4k for 12 months.
Or I could move from here and get a job teaching, but their insurance also wouldn't start till September.
I'll be unemployed from june to september and I have an infant, so I'm considering medicaid as well.
I'm not sure if I can get quality ACA coverage for just a few months??
So I'm wondering if I should just go with remistart, but I'm a bit scared by it. I've never done it before and remi is so expensive! What if they let me have it and I get billed for $10k??? :(
I have an active perianal fistula, but a great quality of life. I've considered stretching out my infusions to get my last one on june 16th, but it's still too long to september. :(
So what should I do??? I'm a planner and I've got lots of time to figure out the best plan!

I have UnitedHealthcare and I am enrolled in the Remistart program. I've spoken on the phone with them several times, and they are very helpful. They would be able to tell you if you're eligible.

The program has restrictions as to who can receive assistance. I copied the paragraphs below from their website. I think you need to have commercial insurance.

Good luck.
