Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Thanks Kari, I know you can actually start filing at the 6 month mark here in CA. Not sure about the other states. Do you have to qualify for SSDI to get Medicare early? Sincerely, Tracie NS Co-owner/moderator Re: Remicade updatethanks , I know there is a reason for this yet another delay, so I am trying hard to what on his will not mine. thank you for the hugs and prayers, Marla On Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 7:27 PM, Solberg <mary_s777 (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> wrote: Marla, Remember all things in His time. I'd call the company who makes Remicade and see what they tell you to do. There's got to be a doc out there who is in this for the patient and not the money. I will pray that God guides you to this person. Maybe this is just a step that God is doing to lead you to just the right person to give this to you. Keep the faith, girl.

Anyway, my doctor was blown out of the water too. I guess it might be possible to get this at a Rheumatalogist office in town?? so anyone paying that for Remicade please let me know. So here we are at the beginning again, well I fought for Methotrexate until I got it, so I guess I have to keep on fighting. I wish you all a very blessed weekend.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yes, here in Georgia you do. The rules for Medicare differ from state to state. We are not a 209b state. I believe Virginia and Indiana are though. In Georgia, you qualify for Medicaid until Medicare kicks in at 2 years of SSDI.
