After two and a half weeks of research, phone calls, confusion, and exhaustion, I finally had a breakthrough today! I know what hospital I'm going to AND I got approved for medicaid!
It's a very long story, but basically I found out that Breast & Cervical cancer patients can get approved for medicaid immediately through their local Health Department, as long as you meet the financial requirements.
The Health Department is telling me it is supposed to go back 3 months for coverage, which means all my hospital bills from June should be covered. My portion of the hospital bills were way more than I could afford, so this is such a relief and a blessing!!
Whew! Thank You Jesus!
As I write this, I'm very tired. This has been a stressful process, time consuming, with lots of uncertainty. But now that this important task is completed, I can make my appointment in Atlanta to see an Oncologist, and to get some further tests done. That will be done first thing in the morning.
Goodnight all! :)
