Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Jeanette, I read your post. Although it has been many years I ran a home health office in Bonham and Sherman. Bonham has a great hospital but at the time they were no where near the care you can get in Sherman.Like I said it has been many years but the Drs in Sherman also seemed to be more responsive to the patients.I envy you. I would love to move back to North Texas but my hubby was raised here in NJ and NY so all I can do for now wish.If you ever need home care in that area Outreach Health care is a great place to use or at least they were.Also if I remember the towns are small enough that most Drs take Medicare. Good luck and let us know how it goes.You are also close to Dallas or Denton for Drs as well.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thank you Heidi. Now, I'm wondering how the financial picture will look as far as will Medicare pick up the whole cost of Enbrel? Plaquenil? or the rest of the Rx's. I'm understanding that I have to pay a premium to have Medicare, but then what else do I have to pay for? Does Medicare pick up everything (doctor, labs, & Rx's)? my hubby is > > wanting to move to Sherman or Bonham or somewhere around > > the area there. How are the Doctors there?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thank you. The Medicare.gov sight was very helpful. I'm trying to be prepared for the future, if one can be. I'm not on medicare yet, still on medicaid, but now I know that I will automatically be sent medicare application 3 mos or so before I start medicare coverage. But, looking at things, it looks like I'll be better off financially when it starts. my hubby is > > > > wanting to move to Sherman or Bonham or somewhere around > > > > the area there.
