Hi Betsy, I do undersyand what you mean about these insurance companies not wanting to pay bills. this is outrages I had to get on medicaid when i first got sick then the second time i was hospitalized i was cut off medicaid while i was in the hospital so from my sick bed iI had to call medicaid to find ot why I was cut off.....lol and they told me the reason is that since I am on SSD I make to much money. there reasoning is since i bring home more than $750.00 a month i dont qualify for medicad. so then i was left with a bill for over $16000.00 plus other expenses as well i could not take my chemotherapy for over 2 months hows that for caing about people and there health.
finally i went down to medicaid to argue and fight with them just for them to tell me that they would place me on a spend down $330.00 which means that if my medical bills are under the $330.00 limit then i have to pay the $330.00 other than that I have to bring my dr bills to them every month so that i can continue to recieve medicaid. Now I know that you are probably reading this blog and saying WHAT!!!!!!!! guess waht so am I I dont get it they explaind it to me and I still dont get it but hey I took them my bills from the hospital and ambulance and now my medicaid is free for the next 6 months then the process starts again go figure.
So I guess what im trying to say is you have o keep fighting for your rights as if were not tired already but you have to fight we need to write to our congress and change these ridiculous laws its like they dont care and they dont.
Until next time feel better and pray on it GOD will work things out
you are in my prayers........Anthony
