Financial assistance for costs insurance does not pay?

mom2greatkids

Hi Ladies,

I have a private insurance policy which I kept (thankfully) after my husband's death in 2010. In order to afford the policy I have a $7,500 deductible, after which it does pay 100%. (had I had a lower deductible, I would have paid a lot more monthly in premium, so it comes out to about the same).

Anyway, since I am widowed and unable to work (have applied for disability) I need help paying the deductible amount. Last year when I had surgery, the hospital wrote a large portion of that bill off for me given my circumstances. I have no income, and still unable to move out on my own.

Does anyone know of any place I can seek some assistance? My clinic contacted American Cancer Society. Because I have insurance, they say I am not eligible for assistance. The hospital from where my chemo is billed told me the same thing.

I do not need all this stress from these medical bills. I also have a master's degree to pay for. I do have my teaching license, but now can't work due to my health issues.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Carla

If you are in the States, you can probably get help through the local Medicaid office.
