Medicare is a federally funded program as where Medicaid is a state funded program and therefore each state has the ability to set their own rules and guidelines.  Typically, medical assistance is based on your income or disbaility.  You will want to contact your local Division of Family Services to see what you may be eligible for. \nHope this helps!

I don't know what state you're in so I can't provide a link. However, you can search online by putting the words Medicaid and the name of your state in the Google search box. Most states have information on their websites or at least a phone number to call.\n\nGood luck!

Talk to your doctor about getting on the Patient Assistance Program. They have paperwork for this, or a special person in another building will have it and the doctor will have the contact number for you. You will have to fill out and sign a bunch of papers for the drug company for each prescription, then it gets sent to your doctyor so he/she can add a prescription to it. Then it is sent to the drug company(s). Then you wait a little while to see if you qualify. IF you do, then the drugs are sent to your doctor's office and you pick them up there. They will give you 3 months worth of each medication for a very small fee to no fee at all (I have had it as low as $5 for a 3 month's supply).

Talk to the doc...I don't know if it varies from state to state but I know from typing up reports for several doctors that if the doctor prescribes it Medicaid pays for it with the exception of some specific medications.

Free -  the company that makes it will provide it for free if you meet their income guidelines - go to needymeds.com and look for the link . You will have to have your doc or a nurse in their office fill out some paperwork for you, but it will be worth it in the long run.

I am looking into them myself. I already pulled off and printed cards for "FREEDRUGCARD.US  and Drug Card America. \nThere is no charge and you can use them immediately. You can only use one at a time. You have to ask which one is the best.

You can look in your local phonebook and find doctors.\n  You will have to call that particular Dr's office to see if they are taking new patients and to see what their payment options are but I think you can be sure that you will have to pay whether it is cash,check or credit card.\n   Often times your community will have a Medical Society that might be able to direct you to new doctors in your area that are accepting new patients.\n   Word of mouth is good too and often times the better way to go to find a doctor that you will like.  Ask some of your friends.\n    Going to the Emergency Room is really not an option.\n    The ER is for people with EMERGENCIES hence the words\nEmergency Room.  A physical is not an EMERGENCY.

Since you have medicare you can get what is referred to as Medagap Insurance. Make sure that you have signed up for part B through Medicare. Most insurance companies offer Medigap   sometimes called Medicare Supplement. You also need to evaluate if you should get the prescription coverage. Getting B coverage is a must the presciption coverage may not be but if you don't get it during the open enrollment period the rates go up if you get it latter.

These programs are offered by the state that you live in.  Since you did not indicate your state, you can visit the link below, which takes you to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. \n\nIn section 1 click on your state, and in section 2 click on "State Medical Assistance Office," leaving the rest of the sections blank. This will display the Medicaid office for your state, which should be able to advise you on all available health insurance programs and eligibility requirements (including Medicaid and/or CHIP).
