Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I know of someone who was exposed, has immune problems, has been educated on mold by us and wants to take steroids to get pregnant. She also had pulmonary fibrosis (has not told the Dr working to get her pregnant either) . I guess they have to learn the hard way somtimes.    God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: barb b w <barb1283@...> Sent: Wed, September 8, 2010 5:01:14 PM Subject: [] Re: immunology, IgE  I have a girlfriend who lives in a *finished basement*, can't convince her it may be bad for her health, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 mayleen, to my knowledge the mayo clinic doesn't really diagnose or treat for " toxic mold exposure " but they use to accept medicaid, but not sure if they do now. thinking I read that they were going to stop takeing it, dont know if that happened. is so you may be able to get some help at least in the sinus, allergy area, weither true allergy or not, also maybe some attn. to lungs, maybe not bring up exposure and just complain of sinus and lung problems and see what they come up with. just a thought. sometimes leaving the cause out and just complaining of certain illments may get you farther when dealing with this and limited resorces. see what I'm saying? sometimes those tests and reports can still be linked in ways to what we know, even if doctors wont admit to it. good luck. > > I have been treated like a nut too and still even though you can see it in a CT > Scan, blood etc. Medicaid has no Dr of EI on thier list, I would rather go to > so I stop waisting my time. No toxicologits on their list either.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 yes, and the docs, pts, etc don't contract with blue shield either, medical insurance isn't there to cover your needs when you get sick, its a big for profit scam and obama care just expanded their oligopoly! sue >I have been treated like a nut too and still even though you can see it >in a CT >Scan, blood etc. Medicaid has no Dr of EI on thier list, I would rather >go to >so I stop waisting my time.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Mayleen, what insurance coverage do you have? I'd much rather have medicare and medicaid than private insurance. medicare and medicaid from what I've seen covers much more than private insurers and then they do not deny people coverage for age or disability or preexisting conditions. I can't imagine wishing they were gone! I helped take care of my mom and my aunt at the end of their life. Both of them forgot to pay their health insurance premiums when they got very sick which cause insurance companies to cancell their policies right when they needed it the most. Thankfully, they were secondary insurance to Medicare. So only insurer still there was Medicare. My mom and leukemia and was diagnosed 2 weeks before she died and spent that whole time in the hospital. Then we got billed by hospital because her private insurer wouldn't pay because they didn't get her last premium payment. Wow two weeks in the hospital would have been cost probably everything she had had she not had Medicare. As it was she had Medicare which picked up most of the charges. If she had lived through it, she would have been broke. Another example, my greataunt lived to be 100 years old, never went to the doctor but paid her insurance premium every month. Then she had a stroke. I came to visit her, she had unpaid bills all over the place,including a cancelation from Blue Cross and Blue Shield for non payment of premium. She was 90 so after paying for it all her life and not using it, she would have lost it right when she became ill for first time. I rushed in to them and paid premium and they reestablished her *because they didn't know about her stroke as she never went to the doctor for anything so not on record. Later tests showed the stroke was at fault for her cognitive problems (and limp). When I went to Dallas to see Dr Rae and was paying my bill, assitant said it was too bad I didn't have medicaid or medicare as they pay for all of these things (apparently my tests and visit would have been all covered), but it was very costly for me. I could only see him once due to cost. Medicare and Medicaid is only insurer that I have ever heard of that will cover some 'alternative' cancer treatments out of the country. I've had alot of experience taking care of others and I think we are very lucky to have medicare and medicaid, and I pay for best insurance program I can find, allows me to go where I want to but I pay more to see them than there recommended list. t. > > I do not see much benefit to medicaid or medicare....................nor paying > homeowner's ins. A waste of my money. > > God Bless !! > dragonflymcs > Mayleen > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 HI Barb & Mayleen, I agree with you Barb, EXCEPT that more and more docs are opting out of Medicare because they come in and dictate how they can practice medicine which doesn't work if you do a lot of alternative stuff, and they don't pay as well, so my mom goes to a doctor who opted out of medicare and can't even get the meager reimbursement I get from my blue shield plan.... I've heard that some Mayo clinics have now opted out of Medicare, they looked at what they were getting in reimbursement from medicare and looked at their costs of providing service to medicare patients, and they weren't covering their costs, i hear more and more of these stories... seu v >Mayleen, what insurance coverage do you have?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have MEDICAID (caps  just to make it visible) at the moment . Medicaid has a lot of variance. Depending your location, state, HMO, PSN, and more.   It all changes by location and who signs up to serve it. For example if you have a refferal from your PCP to a specialist but the specialist is not a medicaid provider you cannot see him. It does not matter if that is the only Dr in the state who treats what you have you cannot see him. The hospitals are dropping medicaid like flies, as are the Dr's. They say they do not get paid enough and then there is all the hastle. A Dr gave me a script, them medicaid said they were not paying for it. I had to try one of their generics first, we I cannot since they cause me problems, not made the same. My Dr had to fill out forms, papers, calls, etc, to override their generic and he does not get paid for all the hours of work on that. It is like HMO, they decide what you take, who you see, and if not in Network than too bad. I just spend a day on phone with local area supervisor going back and forth. Still I canot get anyone I need because none of the services I asked for are on their list of providers. The ones I previously posted. So if you are not seriously ill, then I guess some of thise works, or aybe if you have something not unusual maybe it works, but I have not heard much good news from others either. The provider's  list changes weekly if not daily. Maybe I live in the wrong place cause it is not like that here. So it varies by region, state. God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: barb b w <barb1283@...> Sent: Fri, September 10, 2010 12:21:16 PM Subject: [] Re: immunology, IgE  Mayleen, what insurance coverage do you have?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 It's true I spent a day on the phone with Medicaid and no major hospitals near me want it. The Cleveland Clinic and Mayo have both dropped out. Cleveland will only serve in their immediate area. I am not in that area, county. So it is all going down the drain.  In addition people are recieving letters from SS saying to expect 25 % less than they would have collected before. No monies in the funds. There will be further cuts.  I would not say anything if it weren't happening to me right now. If I had not heard it from the horses mouth.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Not replace it but fix it, fix medicare too. Make sure they have Dr's in all specialies, if they don't then they need to pay for the others that are not. That would help. If they paid Dr's better than they would not be dropping like flies out of the programs. When you get disability the wait for medicare is 2 years. Depending how far back SS went. In 2 years people can die from lack of care. If they do not have the specialty , hospital on their list and there is no where else to go then they should pay for it.  Speak to the Dr's that have medicaid. The only one I have complains about it all the time. Understands the ups and downs very well. he does his best to provide care within their restrictions. _______________________________ From: barb b w <barb1283@...> Sent: Fri, September 10, 2010 2:31:09 PM Subject: [] Re: immunology, IgE  Okay, so what would you like to replace Medicaid with? > > I have MEDICAID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
