Well, I woke up today, insuranceless.
I called a number of places. My old insurance company, the new one my family just got, SS offices, my local medicare offices, etc etc.
All I got was bad news. No one will cover me, or can cover me.
The people at the local medicare offices were very sympathetic atleast. Most of them saying that they had delt with alot of what I have, and tried to help me the best they could. Sadly, nothing can be done.
I tried to get the disabled child form from the insurance company, and they said they wouldn't. They refused to cover me unless I was a full time student in a collage.
So then, my dad calls.
He told me that after talking with the president of the company, he managed to work something out with him for me.
It turns out that the part time job im doing now will become a 40 hour a week, full time job. (meaning my SSDI app is gonna go out the window)
Now, I know, that seems good, right? I'd get coverage again.
The only problem is that, I have trouble handling that little part time job as it is...
Turning it full time like that, im not sure how it'll work out.
If I wind up getting sick with just the part time stuff alone, there's already no one that can cover for me, and I get my job threatened, my dads job threatened, and it makes life a living hell.
It's funny... the little cashier workers can take a "personal" day off to go get
tweaked, but a chronicly ill person in a position higher then the tweaker can't take a sick day without it becoming a nightmare.
If I take this up, and try this, I'll lose my shot as ssi, but I will be eligable for cobra again if I lose the job/insurance.
I'll have to re-start the entire ssi process again though... well paying the 400 a month, without a job.
Yeah, sure, it does seem like a bit of a bind, but.... before this, I had no chance of coverage. I also found out that ultrase is near $3,000 for a months supply (out of pocket).
My only option (which I hadn't tried yet), was calling the ultrase people, and seeing if they could discount it for me due to my situation.
This would still have left me without the ability to see my doctors, or get other meds for infections/nebs.
Should I have quit my part time job, I could have gone for the local welfare, and gotten their mini medicade thing.
It MIGHT have covered some of my perscriptions, but no doctors still.
Well, this is what's going on, and those are my options.
What do you guys think?
Should I be doing something else? is there something I've missed or overlooked?
Do you think I should be going ahead with this job and try? or should I tough it out and wait on SSI?
Thanks in advance for your opinions. ^^
