Avatar f tn Hi Frrecks, I'm sorry that I don't know anything about the insurance, since we still have private insurance. It has to be so difficult to set aside the financial worries and concentrate on feeling better. I do know a lot of the DMD companies have programs to assist anyone without insurance. As for my private insurance cost, my employer just finished the open enrollment for next year and here is what I will be paying for my health insurance - $238.00 a month for me and my spouse.
Avatar m tn I don't have a number, but believe it is expensive, but then what does it cost if you blow a transmission in your car? You may be able to minimize your cost through a clinic or other walk-in medical service. I don't know if a clinic will quote you a price, it seems they should to me. If your income is low or you are out-of-work Medicaid or other government support may be available to help.
Avatar n tn Our healthcare costs have been rising at a rate much faster than any other cost of living in this nation as well as compared to other industrialized nations. Yet we have millions of people who cannot get health insurance coverage for a multitude of excuses by these insurance companies. People know that all it takes is an illness or giving birth, getting labwork, Xray, ER, mental illnesses to name just the top of the iceberg, can all lead these uninsured people to financial ruin.
438514 tn?1305734140 Hi All, I just wanted to let you know that for myself, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan paid the entire cost of the BRCA testing. I feel like this is such a breakthrough. The fact that a PPO plan would pay for the full cost based on family history. Perhaps the other BC/BS of various states and other plans will also now finally consider the value of the testing. The good news for me in addition to the payments was that it all came back negative.

Avatar f tn I was interested in seeing how many of us have health insurance vs no health insurance.
Avatar n tn Is there any reason you don't want medicaid? Just wondering about that... I am self-employed and insurance is always a thorn in my side. I make too much for medicaid and too little for traditional maternity insurance. I found it cheaper to carry a insurance policy on myself and pay my maternity fees out of pocket. Ironically, I save money doing it this way. Most doctors and midwives will give you the option of a payment plan if you don't qualify for medicaid.
Avatar n tn If you make under a certain amount of money yearly, I believe you can get the insurance at no cost and your meds are free also. Or if your not working, try medicaid. I believe they will help you with the insurance also. I don't know what your circumstances are, but just trying to help.
Avatar f tn t see his way clear to have health insurance before he became ill, as the cost would have run about a 1/3 of what he will have to pay now, and the higher insurance is considered "affordable"?? I was totally blown away by the government's idea of affordable. Was your son working immediately prior to becoming ill? If so, he might qualify for Social Security disability, and it would come with health care....medicaid to begin with, then Medicare when his Social Security kicked in.
1036535 tn?1278502599 Hi Red, Just in relation to your comment to pushingupdaises and waiting times, here in Aus I was told on a Wednesday to book an LP and the next available appointment was the following Monday, so 5-6 days. So no wait. (I didn't want it that fast as I was in shock and ended up booking one a month later). The cost was $480, with Medicare (our taxes) covering all but $80 of that. All I have to pay up-front is 'the gap", ie, that 80 bucks.
387294 tn?1207620185 My son and daughter may be looking for health insurance after they leave college and are no longer dependents. My daughter has been diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic heart valve. She has a healthy heart and it is working well. With this impact her chances to get health insurance on her own? Will it impact our ability to continue her insurance after the cobra period is over on our insurance?
290018 tn?1240365868 They only cover a certain percentage depending on your coverage selections. My health insurance pays for EVERYTHING except for $150 copay but I have excellent health insurance. My guess is if you have United, you will probably acrrue a similar hospital bill but your best bet would be to call United directly.
Avatar f tn The total out-of-pocket wihout insurance would be $2400 a year. With insurance it would be $1900 a year. So now the total cost of medical care with United catastrophic insurance is $6300 and uninsured out-of-pocket cost is $3600. The costs of outpatient procedures and other things are generally comparable to that and I'm not going to bother doing the math on them as I'm not familiar with the costs there.
Avatar f tn I am five weeks and without health insurance. My husband and I will be moving to a different state in January. Should I pay by appointments or try to find a transferrable insurance to the next state? Also, this is my first and I don't even know where to begin as far as finding a doctor before the move...
Avatar f tn Hello, I have been really bad pelvic pain for months..I'm 23 and a virgin. I'm not over weight but my stomach looks bloated all the time, when its that time of the month, it hurts even worse, I do work but no health insurance, over the counter meds don't help. What can I do please help.
Avatar f tn Like someone else said , the ONLY way to know how your insurance works and what is covered is to call your insurance and ask about your specific policy. I worked for a major health insurance company for years and the biggest mistake you can make is not calling them in advance. I also recommend finding out what options you have for permanent coverage for your baby.
Avatar f tn Yes you do, here in the UK we have the nhs so we don't have to pay, but other countries like US don't have nhs they have health insurance instead so, like with our car insurance, if u don't have insurance or ur insurance doesn't cover it then u have to pay
Avatar n tn Hi, I just found out I do not have health insurance. We thought it would be until the end of the month but it's already done. I wad still under my moms plan and she was laid off last month. Well I had medical assistance through the state my last pregnancy but they dropped me when she was a month old because of my fiance's income. My daughter still has medical assistance.
Avatar n tn They barely live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford even the simplest coverage. I thought with the new health insurance reform that they would be able to get health insurance at a lower price but they can’t even afford that. So now, they can’t come up with the money for the insurance by the due date to get coverage. Why is the system still not working? I thought health insurance would be more affordable but for them, it’s not even possible.
Avatar n tn My husband has no insurance. He has been in A-fib, off and on, since 1997. He has been converted several times. Most recently his doctor told him that real damage is being done to his heart and he needs to pursue the ablation. Is there anywhere in the country that does them for a reasonable price?
Avatar f tn Sorry I don't have Kaiser health insurance, maybe someone else here does, but those prices sound about right. Those are your "co-pay costs", the "actual cost" is thousands of dollars per month as you have heard. I had Blue Cross of California during treatment and my co-pay cost were similar to the prices you quoted.
