Many hospitals will work out a plan to pay money at reduced amounts. Contact the hospital and see if you can spread out the payments to a more affordable amount. You may have to talk to several people but try to be polite. Also some states may have a fund to help people in your situation. Go to your states website, or call up there infomration line to see if they can help.

Hi elduva318,\nContact your local health department or if you have a doctor ask about a payment plan. Good Luck: Blueladybug

play around with the tools on medicare.gov there are more factors you may want to look into than just cost... such as what pharmacies in your area accept what plan. call some local hospitals, lots of them in my area have volunteers who can help you out if you think you need help finding a plan

Has she applied for Medicare/Medicaid? That should be her first step. If she can't qualify contact a not for proffit hospital and ask for a patient advocate/social worker, generally if you can prove hardship and that the procedure is necessary they will do the procedure on a sliding scale or the advocate can help you find other options to get this paid for.  It will probably depend a lot on how necessary the surgery is. Of course it's necessary to you and her, but in the eyes of the person paying, if they deem it necessary you could get a break.

This is a dilemma that many hard working people find themselves in these days!! (not being able to afford proper, quality medical care  - that is)  I know that many community hospitals offer low cost medical care and quite often charge you what your income allows. To be able to qualify for these programs however, can be quite time consuming and you are often shuffled from department to department before you are even allowed to see a physician.  Isn't there some way that you can contact the physician who prescibed the Atenelol initially and explain the difficult position that you are in?  High blood pressure is nothing to take lightly as it often accompanies additional medical problems that should be attended to or monitored!  I wish you good luck and as I am writing this to you, I am shaking my head...Our medical programs neglect sooo many individuals that truly are in need!! It makes me sick (but not too sick-I can rarely afford medical attention either!).

Contact a legal nurse, who can draw up an agreement. Also, an attorney can do this.

Most US citizens get Medicare Part A for free when they turn 65 (or if disabled).  You then get the option to pay $88 a month for Part B (which you do).  This will cover 80% of most medical procedures, hospital stays, and doctor visits.  The other 20% gets paid by you, unless you get a supplemental insurance policy which I would highly recommend.  If you have private insurance or an HMO through your retirement (check to see if they will drop you when you turn 65) Medicare becomes the primary and they become the secondary.  If you don't have to pay for that coverage, keep it.  If you do, or they will drop you at 65, or your insurance doesn't come with retirement, look into a supplemental policy about 6 months before you turn 65.\n\nMedicaid is Welfare health care for the severely impoverished.  You must have very limited assets to qualify.  They will pay for your doctor bills, prescriptions, and long term care facility, but they want you to be completely broke, and if you own a house they will put a lein on it.  Stay away from Medicaid if you can afford to.\n\nHope that helps.  Contact an insurance company in your area that offer supplements about 6 months from your 65th b-day and get quotes.  Go with one that the agent provides and processes your claims.  Much easier for you in the later years when you may not be able to deal with the paperwork.  State Farm, Bankers Life & Casualty, Mutual of Omaha those are some of the big ones.

omg i am truly sorry.  if the father is in the picture, apply for insurance under him...if not, then use him to apply for it by taking him to court and using that child support income to get you the medicare benefits.  there are many places you can go to with these questions.  church, the hospitals, social workers.  i hope everything works out in you and your daughter's behalf

If you are in Broward county you can sign up for Browards Hospital Districts audult care facility.  http://www.mhabroward.org/medicalcare.html\n\nOr since you have cancer you may want to apply for SSI and they will automatically set you up with medicaid.

Ask at your hospital to speak to a Financial Aide Department.  Also a Social Worker should be able to help you out and give you some contacts.  Perhaps you can talk to the Church also.  Medicaid may be able to help too or Medicare Part B for medications.  My best of luck to you.

Contact a local Veteran's Service Officer.\nIf your deceased husband was a member of a vetera's organization, they usually have someone there that can help you.\nAlso, you can search the Veteran Affairs website, their link is: http://www.va.gov\nThey have a link for survivor benefits.\nGood Luck

You might, but you will need to contact Medicare or the company you have your plan with.
