Guest guest Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Joyce,Some questions. Does the family file an income tax return for their farm. Many times, I think, they may get social security credit for that. If they do, the child may qualify for Medicare because of that. I do not know for sure how that works. Do the parents have a social security number.Just an odd thought, other than that, I don't know.Thanks,BillReply-To: <TxFinancialCoordinators >Date: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 11:59 AMTo: "'TxFinancialCoordinators '" <TxFinancialCoordinators >Subject: Amish I have a young boy in need of a kidney transplant that is a member of the Old Order Amish therefore he does not have health insurance.Has anyone had any experience in securing funding/insurance for Amish people?Thanks Joyce Joyce SauerTransplant Financial CoordinatorUniversity of Rochester Medical CenterPhone # Fax# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hello Joyce, I deal with the Amish all the time, you need to ask the parents to contact their committee person. The committee informs the elders of the order. Sometime the Elder of the Amish Committee will meet with the transplant group or the hospital administrator. Financially arrangements are made with the parents, who in turn pay for any/all services in cash. We normally give the Amish Community a discount rate. Hope this helps, Michele Westfield Nemours/Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children 1600 Rockland Road Wilmington, DE. 19803 mwestfie@...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Joyce, We have a program which is called OCCF it is for Amish here in Ohio, their own version of Children with medical handicaps. Check with them and see if they have a program like that and/or see if they would consider signing up with you children with medical handicaps program in your state, if they have one. Otherwise, I would say that they will pay through the church. We have a large Amish population here and depending on beliefs, depends on what programming they will do. Feel free to call me as I handle all of the Amish population here for HEMA/ONC/BMT. Thanks, Dorinda Dorinda S.
