Dragonfly, that is all great in theory but let me tell you this. Im on

disability so I am not sure if it is Medicaid or medicare but I can tell you

this. With the bare minimum, xrays and just Dr. visits and meds it is all I can

do to keep my head above the water. Truth is I have already drowned. They dont

pay crap and I have yet to figure out how I have so much more than I can pay.

Not on my income. That is after they take $96 dollars to pay for medical right

off the top.

I myself have indeed had it. I have many things needed to be checked much less

done and can do nothing but suffer. I just cant do it. I need terribly to get

back into Shoemaker but some of the tests are not covered and unlike before

there is no money to do so. To top it of guess how much the state says I deserve

in food stamps. Brace yourself...... A whopping $16, yes $16.00 a month. I feel

like I am just lieing around dieing.

The is a disgrace.  The truth is medicaid is supposed to pay for the

specialist you need even if they are not a medicaid provider.  It is in there

documentation.  If your EI is the only person in the state who can treat you

for mold iilness Medicaid is supposed to pay.  You need to contact your State

Medicaid office.  Get a refferal from your primary care physician to the

specialist.  If your local medicaid is giving you a hard time like mine is then

you get the autorization from your state office.  Then then must pay for

specialist and have you PCP state that you need to see him/her for as many

visits as necessary.  (undetermined amount of time)

Medicaid is income qualified in most our cases and disability.  Medicare is

probably what you have not medicaid.  I have full medicaid,  I do not pay for

anything execept a $2.00 copay at Dr office. My meds, visits, tests are all

covered. IF and that is a big IF I can find a Dr who wants to take medicaid not

medicare. 

My friend had medicare and he has copays like you.  Around 20% and has that

deduction you speak of out of your SS , I do not have that. 

I have not been able to see and Ei and have not had any treatment for mold

exposure.  Medicaid is giving me a hard time becasue they are not medicaid

providers.  I went threw this for a medication. 

I am very sorry you feel as you do and trust me I know the feeling.  It's been

6 years and I have 2 lung diseases from mold and have not even had a pulmo.  I

am on # 6.  None have wanted my case.  I have not had anyone to manage my 02

in 2 years, I guess want I am doing with that.  Food Stamps will not even call

me back.  Or accomodate my disability.  They are rediculous and need a major

overhaul.  There numbers are from last century.  how are we supposed to eat

??? 

God Bless !!

I feel very sad for you and am afraid I can't offer any solutions. But

I do want to say that private insurance, blue shield in my case, is no

better. This is what I have to say about them: deny, delay, don't

pay. The govt. is not looking to spend extra dollars, and the private

insurers care about only one thing and that is maximizing their short-

term profits, like any other corporation.... We took out a mortgage on

our house, gone thru that, now using our retirement $'s, will soon go

thru that, but I am not complaining because at least I have that money

to do the tests, the therapies and try to get my kid better vs. you who

doesn't. I just want to say that healthcare, public or private is in a

horrible state in this country...

ANd unfortunately, most healthcare providers do not want to contract w/

medicare or private insurers because they don't provide adequate

reimbursement to cover costs in some cases, they try and tell them how

to practice medicine (especially if they do alternative stuff), they

waste their time (think about how much time we spend just trying to get

reimbursement on our own cases, vs. they have to do that on all the

patients, need a full-time army to fight to get paid). I have seen one

of my son's provider's drop blue shield because they couldn't deal with

it, I heard about a Mayo clinic dropping medicare at the turn of the

year because they don't cover their costs, etc.

Not to get political, but to get political, it is just one of many

broken aspects of our country today...

I hope you can find friends or family or someone who can help a little,

have you contacted shoemaker's office to see if they can give you any

kind of price break?

best, sue
