My Family could use some Spiritual support right now. - update page 85

get an ssi lawyer to handle it. It will take about 3yrs though. just warning you. It will keep getting denied until you do. Trust me. Dont go to ss. it's just wasting your time.

And whatever he does, if he was working with full time benefits dont let him push you out. get the lawyer, he will recieve his benefits from, work and ss. That was my mistake.

Hospitals in New Jersey have a thing called Charity Care

You just apply

For help with medical services for the poor or uninsured

God bless you and hang in there

Evil in the government that one has to hire a lawyer to get the ss disability and medical care paid

Best wishes for health and emotional strength.

Hey BBQ! Praying for all of you to hold up under the constant strain! Glad you're getting some legal help, that will make a huge difference. Hope your son is doing ok despite everything! God bless you all!

How the hell do they justify $2700 for a vitamin shot?

There is no one on this planet that could convince me that price is fair...that is fucking highway robbery at its worst.

Insanity

I never stop. Nor will. Blessings to Dakota and you and all of yours. And for everyone here who cares. We may be a very odd family, but we are in a sense family. Virtual Quantum Entanglement, but entangled none the less.

We get billed $101 -$113 per empty plastic syringe that they use each time at Dialysis. It's usually two per treatment sometimes three.

Today is 109 days since Dakota was first Hospitalized, I keep a running tab of the medical costs as the bills come in.

One Million two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars so far. And that's not a accurate number because we have not got the bills for the last seven Dialysis treatments and three Hospital appointments. A rough estimate of those costs would be around 60 to 70K.

Quit the job and downsized my home. Now Medicaid covers me for everything Humana ($14/month) doesn't, and it's always free. 100% free. Let this be a heads up to everyone reading this thread.

How old are you?

Absolutely ridiculous! I'm so sorry BBQ. Financial worries shouldn't have to be such a focus during all that your family is going through. It's criminal.

Always praying

This was a Big Plus for us today at the Social Security office. Thank you A/C !!!

So Today at SS we filed an appeal to the previous denial at the request of the Attorney we hired.

Your not going to believe this one. Wait for it.

The woman ask why we were filing an appeal because our first claim had not been processed yet.

And there we sat with three letters of Denial of the first claim in our hands.

One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

We got everything rounded up for Wednesdays second meeting with the SSI Attorney.

New SSI claim.
New Medicare claim
And a copy of Hospital records. Which the hospital charged us $45 for

What a complete cluster, BBQ Boy.

I'm sure you didn't know whether to laugh, cry or throw
a folding chair.

Glad you've got someone on you side now pressing buttons.
Hopefully, this process will be over soon.

We have a lot of people on our side, we dont reply to every post but we do read them ( all three of us) and we follow every link that you guys post for us. Without GLP we would have probably given up by now.

Glad it helped! I can't believe they denied him the first time. I had never heard of the 10 year work history rule, and I worked at a dialysis clinic for 35 years! I don't know if this is new, or if we just didn't have anyone so young with ESRD. He should qualify for Medicaid as well as Medicare (unless they've changed the rules). You guys are doing a great job taking care of your son. He is blessed to have a loving family. Love and prayers to you, your family and especially Dakota!!

That's it, keep fighting forward.

Good things headed your way.

Keep your faith, first and foremost.

We finally have a day this week where we are not running all over the place. We managed to get all the Documents the Lawyer wanted and we met with him again on Wednesday, so now it's sit back and wait. Nothing has really changed since the last time I updated you all.

Although we get a little frustrated at times with the way things are progressing, we are all in good spirits.

We had a discussion the other day about how illegal immigrants manage to get Government assistance and benefits.
Dakota has been denied and the system has him jumping through hoops to prove who he is, as well as what's wrong with him. We wondered how Illigals got around this?

We got a call a from from Cardiovascular team the other day, they told him that since he didn't have insurance they would need to reschedule his Vein Mapping appointment on Jan. 22nd until he could provide them with Insurance information.

Well TSHTF during that phone call and once they were asked if they were denying our Son medical treatment, they told us to come on Jan 22nd as schedule and they would Bill him.

We have also had one Doctor turn Dakota over to a Collection agency for a $30 co-pay they call almost daily.

Anyway that's all I have for you today. We Thank you for your continued support of our Son and our Family.

Hey BBQ! Hang in there. I dealt with the medical system for 10 years, and they made me worse instead of better. Finally found an out of state doctor who was a real doctor, that figured out my back surgeries had caused diabetes. Also, there were several meds I took that were causing all kinds of problems!

But I was wondering why you can't get him insurance through the health care exchanges? If he has no income and can't work, he should be a good candidate.

He has applied for Medicaid and they required more information, Birth Certificate, medical records and such, also his W-2 which we just got and we mailed those out early this week and are waiting for a response now.

I wish I had practical advice for you...But all I can say is that you are all in my prayers.

Ahh....The System.

May it soon let go of the stringent hold it has on help for your family.

Poor family. Stay strong my friend, I can't believe that you have to go through so much bs. We live in the richest country in the world and not being able to care about our family. God bless you. I am going to pray for you and your family. May God be with you

hope it gets better.

Unbelievable! They want to reschedule a surgery that they screwed up the first time because they might not get paid. They shouldn't get paid anyway. If they had done their job correctly the first time, they wouldn't need to do it again. Good for you that you asked if they were denying him treatment. Keep up the good work. We're all rooting for you and your son. Prayers always.

Just Love and Healing Prayers going your way.

I am hoping that the Light at the end of the Tunnel will soon be visable for you.

Courage. You have plenty. Start posting on a public blog about his healthcare crap. Courage.


Courage!
