He has script coverage (with co-pay) through his Medicare. He just requalified for Medicaid but it will only pay any medical expense beyond $782 EACH month (such as if he was hospitalized) and it will pay his monthly Medicare premium. It seems he is stopped at every turn and it's discouraging.treesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364847483878018809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-60669182221836856302012-02-11T13:31:29.737-08:002012-02-11T13:31:29.737-08:00You mentioned nubulizer meds.

My job is to get people who qualify, no or low cost meds directly from the Pharma companies. <br /><br />Recall all the Pharma commercials on TeeWee that state, "If you can't afford your medications, Astra Zenica can help"? That is what this program does. <br /><br />Financial qualifications are around 200-300% of the poverty level on most meds. Here in N Idaho, that is around $31K. <br /><br />Anyway, call your county health clinic and see if they have some idea of where an agency like mine is in your area. You won't regret it.<br /><br />Some of the programs allow the patient to apply directly to the manufacturer. Go to needymeds.com to get the info for your medication.<br /><br />You might even do a blog post about it to tell others who are also unawares.<br /><br />Good luckS-Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-69473203066470116002012-01-28T10:47:36.927-08:002012-01-28T10:47:36.927-08:00Yes, we had already looked at that listing & d...Yes, we had already looked at that listing & discussed it with an agent. The water depth is too shallow & the width too narrow. WE have our eye on something else nearby & will just have to see what develops. Thanks for your help...we have connected with a good realtor who sends us updates of possible matches.treesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364847483878018809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-83317272024863056072012-01-28T10:28:27.765-08:002012-01-28T10:28:27.765-08:00Did you look at the place I found on the internet?...Did you look at the place I found on the internet?<br />Is that too pricey? 114,000 for direct water access?

The thing that always drives me nuts is when you do heroic things to save $20/month and then something like medical insurance goes up $250/month. <br /><br />You guys are working on stepping outside of the mold, so it will happen. Major moves don't seem to scare you. <br /><br />Good luck with your plans.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
