Only thing definite this week is he has surgery again on the Thursday to try AGAIN to get a permanent viable access port put in. We have to be at MCG at 5:30 am. Several people have suggested contacting your congress critter. This helped my family too (and I was the hero for having made the call, ha ha!). In my case, the patient was a government employee (no such agency); I don't know if that helped light a fire with his congressional office, but they jumped on it within an hour or so. The hospital higher-ups were suddenly all in the ER with my family when I arrived an hour later, talking about options that were not on the table the previous hour. They asked my father if he had called the congressman, and he said no, but I bet she did (pointing at me with a smile as I walked in the room). I said, "I certainly did." Once they got the ball rolling, the head triage nurse pulled me aside and said I saved his life, he was going to die without immediate attention. I don't know if the politicians would be as helpful for a civilian citizen, but I would assume so. Definitely give it a try.

Penny Peppers User ID: 73159854 United States 02/10/2020 10:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: BBQ BOY™ Our son is racking up 20K in bills in a week. And he is unable to work he has End Stage Renal Disease. Total cost of medical bills so far has exceeded 1.25 million dollars. That's just under 120 days of medical costs. These cost will continue for the rest of his life with the chance of a kidney transplant putting a 5 to 10 year break in there. I don't see any way of him ever paying his percentage, of that off. We have always paid our bills, but his case is different, he is terminally ill, without dialysis he will die and he is unable to work. since he is an AdULT.. why is he NOT on Medicaid... I do NOT comprehend this. If you read back a page or so, he has applied but they have not approved him yet. They keep sending him more letters asking for more documents. First time it was CMS form, we sent a copy of that to them and a week later they requested proof of citizenship (Birth Certificate) and last years W-2 form which he just received on the 18th and mailed a copy to them on the 19th. Three days ago. If you know a faster way to jump through these hoops, please do tell, because we will comprehend it. Get on the phone to your Senator's office, and maybe your House congress critter. Get them involved. Sometimes they can light a fire under these bureaucrats! That would be my recommendation! That's not a bad idea. People can literally drown in this bloated beaurocracy. Much love to your family, BBQB There's never a dull moment here on planet earth, unless GLP ceased to exist... Oh, and Biden can't dress himself.... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78343263 United States 02/10/2020 11:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So we are still in Limbo here. We heard from the Adjudicator that's reviewing Dakotas Disability case, She said she requested information from us and we did not provide it and this could result in her denying his claim. Quoting: BBQ BOY™ We did provide what she requested. We provided a copy of his medical records as she requested while we were with our Attorney. 231 pages front and back were Faxed to her on the 13th of Jan. How did she not get that? 462 page fax? We have a copy of the Fax timestamp. She ask us to call to clear this matter up. 30 voicemail messages left to her in the last 10 days. No call back from her. Getting real aggravated with these folks. We document everything and have started recording our phone call with them. I cant blame it on the agencies we are deal with, I pretty sure its just the individuals that work there. I haven't read the entire thread so forgive me. It's late and I'm sleepy. I lost my sister last June from cancer. Everything you're saying is exactly what she went through to get disability after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She was relentless, God love her. They make it hard for a reason. It's almost like they want to see you die before you can collect. We had to start a Go Fund Me for her to get her thru year 1. Yes, it took an entire year to get a dime...and she was actively dying. I'm so sorry to tell you this. Sadly, it's the state of our once rich and powerful county. Billions on war, piss on the rest of us. Be strong. Love one another. It's all you will cherish at the end of the day. The rest ...well, you can only do what you can. |

thinking... User ID: 78212432 United States 02/11/2020 12:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was 19 and my daughter was just 1 year old, she had a tumor on her foot. It had to be removed, and it needed 2 skin graft surgeries. She was at Children's Hospital of Phila, (so you know that's not cheap) for 2 weeks. Quoting: Wildthing3 Anyway, this was before HMO's, so her bills fell under "major medical". We had our deductible, and 80% coverage. Once we hit $20K (in deductibles) we went to 100% coverage. I was 19 years old and owed $20,000! So you know what I did? I paid it. I paid them $20 per month, because that's all I could afford. Then, when I made more money, I paid them $50/month, and so on. My point is you can't squeeze lemon out of a turnip. You make ridiculous payment arrangements, and as long as you keep up with your payments they can't come after you. Yes, I paid the entire thing off, eventually. End of story. Our son is racking up 20K in bills in a week. And he is unable to work he has End Stage Renal Disease. Total cost of medical bills so far has exceeded 1.25 million dollars. That's just under 120 days of medical costs. These cost will continue for the rest of his life with the chance of a kidney transplant putting a 5 to 10 year break in there. I don't see any way of him ever paying his percentage, of that off.

Three days ago. If you know a faster way to jump through these hoops, please do tell, because we will comprehend it. I just don't understand this! I have a friend who was diagnosed with Lupus and she was approved for SS disability, with Medicare, on the first try and it was fast. Does Dakota have a SS disability lawyer lined up? In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |
