depends what state you live in.. in Alabama, the only way for an adult female to receive medicaid is for family planning.. such as yearly pap smears and birth control..

It always depends on what kind of policy you have. You really do get what you pay for. You should always read your policy in it's entirety. If the insurance is paid by the employer and you don't have a choice, you can always purchase additional insurance. If this person is low income, she can apply for medical assistance through the state and they will pay any bills 3 months prior to the application. She may want to give that a try. You would be surprised at who they qualify for medical assistance.

You need to be evaluated by a doctor now!  At best, you are miserable and have disrupted sleep.  At worst, you have a life threatening disease that will only get worse UNLESS YOU GET TREATMENT. \n\nBest case, you have asthma -- a chronic disease that can be controlled.  Uncontrolled asthma is a leading cause of er visits and can lead to death (in severe cases). And that is one of the better scenarios -- others include cancer, copd, tb, pnemonia, NSIP... \n\nIs there anyway you can afford to pay out of pocket?  Put the $65 on a visa?\n\nIf not, are you eligible for medicare (older) or medicaid (lower income) or disability?\n\nIf not, then try a community clinic - they are federally subsidized and offer sliding scale fees for lower income clients.\n\nWorst case, show up a emergency room.  While you will be billed for the treatment (which is why the other options are better), they will treat you eve if you have no money.  Many hospitals offer charity care in some cirumstance.

check with your insurance company they can tell you what is covered and what is not covered. If it's not check with your local health department, they usually offer them for less or sometimes, depending on you situation for free.

If you don't have insurance already, you are in for a rude awakening.  You'll be denied by any insurer for the pre-existing condition.  YOu'll need to check to see if your state has a 'high-risk' pool and see if you can get coverage there.  Since you usually need a denial to get in, you might as well just apply somewhere first and get the denial of coverage.\nSince you are low income you might also quality for some sort of state sponsored medical assistance or Medicaid.

well, you can go to a local clinic. you can call the hospital and they may have a clinic there. If you apply for medicaid ,which you may be able to do right at the clinic or your local social services department, you can have full coverage and get you necessary checkups. You took the first important step-asking.

Call your local health department and ask them about low income/free clinics to provide you with health care. You probably need some iron from losing alot of blood but you definitely need a doctor. If they don't provide you with any help call a local hospital and ask for their social services department and talk to them about free/low income clinics/doctors. Good luck.

Check with your local department of health and human services.  The WIC office may also be listed separately.  If you receive Medicaid your case worker can direct you to the WIC office.  In Texas, if you qualify for Medicaid you automatically qualify for WIC.

Check with your local medicaide office. They'll tell you what requirements you need to meet. Some states also have temporary emergency medical funds available. You can also check with your local hospital's insurance department and they should be able to give you a list of providers or agencies to check with. Good luck!

Many states and counties have  agencies that will take care of the uninsured. In my town we have HAWC. It is run by the county and will even take care of the homeless. Please check with your local welfare office for a list of agencies that will treat the uninsured.\n\nI read your added info. Please check with your local welfare agency for a list. Even if you don't qualify for medical assistance, (and you might) they will be able to guide you to an agency that WILL help you. They are the ones with the answers you need.

You can apply for Medicaid in your state if your income qualifies. If you are disabled and have been for at least two years, you can apply for Medicare. Medicaid, however, would be your best bet, especially if you are not diabled. This can work for you regardless of your citizenship status.

that is a hard one to answer as medicaid varies in their "quote" area of how much u make/don't make.  Best bet is to call your local medicaid office and ask.

Therepy do work pretty good if u can afford them. Ask ur doctor a written statement about u going back to work. If he says no u cant work get a statement\nthat way u can use it for ur disablity and u may want to get a lawyer on that too.

If you can’t get insurance through work, your best option is to talk with local Georgia-licensed health insurance agents. They’ve probably helped people in your situation before. Medicaid is out because you make too much money and you’re too young and not sick enough for Medicare. If you can afford $70/month for health insurance, there are health plans available to you. However, you will still have to pay a high deductible with a plan that has a low monthly payment. Your insurer or the hospital will work out a payment schedule with you where you can pay off your medical bill over time. It might be worth it since your problem is affecting your ability to make a living.\n\nCheck out MostChoice.com. It’s a free, no obligation Web site that specializes in connecting state-licensed agents with people interested in health insurance. It’s a Atlanta-based company that has connections to agents throughout the state, including Coweta County. Just fill out a short form, review free online quotes on Georgia insurers, and within 48 hours agents should contact you. Tell them about your situation and what you can afford, and they will do the rest. All you have to do is wait until one of them delivers a solution that makes sense.\n\nWhatever you do, though, please get help for your problem. You’re too young to be hobbled like you are; you might have to choose between having some medical bills that take a while to pay but have a good foot, or have less debt but have trouble walking.\n\nYou can find MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm\n\nHope this helps,\n\nBarnes@MostChoice

Try contacting your local medicaid office.  You could also ask if there are any financial assistance programs at the facility where you are receiving your care.  Sometimes hospitals, have state representatives that can screen you for medicaid and other programs.

Talk to your doctor. If you do not have a doctor, consult with your local health department. I can almost promise you that there are services there to help you, and probably even a diabetes program in place to address your specific needs. There is probably a pharmacy access program in place, also, that can help you secure the medications that you need to treat your health conditions. Most all services there should be at no charge to you if you do not have any income at all. \nAlso, consult with your local social services office to see about medical assistance programs. There should be medicaid, or some similar program that can really help you. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...
