There isn't. You just have to qualify.

That depends, are you just poor, or just old, or just old and poor? Medicare is for the elderly and disabled, Medicaid is for the very poor. I think a healthy individual (non-disabled) can begin drawing Medicare at 65, the disabled can draw it any age. Medicaid you can get at birth, through age 18. After that, to get Medicaid you have to be a pregnant woman or elderly.

Everyone in the U.S. that works and pays taxes should know they're having money taking out of their check to pay Medicare/Medicaid.\n\nAttached is a link about Medicare/Medicaid.  \nThere probably are state and city assistant programs avaliable too.

New Jersey has a "medically Needy" program and other medicaid-like services if your son is under age 21.  Social workers have found, however, that the prescription companies themselves are offering better prices.  Check out Wal-Mart in NJ for $4 Rxs!!!  They have a terrific program. It isn't available in all states yet, but NJ's program has already begun.

Go to the business office at the VA hospital.  They will give you the paperwork to fill out and I believe they either give you the money or cut you a check...used to take my brother to the VA and dealt with the same situation.

Go to the new county's social service /medicaid office and have it transfered. Within the same state it should be no problem, and unless things have changed the cards won't be forwarded to you unless you go in and have it transfered.

I am on Mo. Medicaid. The spenddown is the amount that you pay each month out of pocket. After you pay that then medicaid will pay the rest of any medical bill that you have that month. Hope this helps you understand it a little better.

Ask Medicare where you can find one.  They are very fussy about where you buy things, so it is easier to just ask them.

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.

Medicaid is a big problem because it considers breast reduction a cosmetic surgery and won't ordinarily approve it.  But as you say you have confirmation that you have a genuine medical need, your doctor needs to fax a TAR (Treatment Authorization Request) to them to get prior approval for the procedure.  You need to contact them and get the name of a cosmetic surgeon who is contracted with Medicaid.  Good luck, Medicaid pays slowly and pays pennies and many specialists don't want to be bothered with it.  If you don't want to go through Medicaid to get the name of a surgeon, you can contact your local Medical Association and they may be able to halp you locate a surgeon.

Contact your local Social Services department and set up an appointment.  Bring all medical bills you have for the last 6 months, as that is as far back as they pay.\n\nYou could also check with the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities.

depends on a few factors. legally, an insurance company has up to two years past the point that your policy is issued to rescind (cancel) your policy, but only for specific circumstances. Most likely they will do an investigation to see whether or not you had pre-existing conditions and had a hunch that you had a terminal illness, and just waited to go to the doctor after you were approved. Honestly, it's going to be tough to win this one, but good luck and best wishes.

That depends on where you live.  You normally can find that information on a web site provided by your county.  Just enter "medical assistance programs" and the name of the county in which you reside.
