Avatar n tn t have any health insurance for about 5 yrs and now that I have it through my work I have had to wait for 1 yr for a pre~existing clause. It sucks but I do have something to look forward to (Oct. 1st). All of my DRs have been really understanding and have tried to give me all of the samples they could of insulin and some even have given me discounted rates for the office visits. I have been very lucky with my Health Care Professionals.
Avatar f tn re pregnant and unemployed you already qualify for insurance! Every state is different but apply for Medicaid or go through your local health department through your county office!
Avatar f tn Visit your local health department. They will give you everything you need to sign up for insurance.
Avatar n tn Dear kelleymonica, In case of a qualifying event such as death or divorce, Federal COBRA can be extended from the original 18 months to as long as 36 months (18 + 18 = 36 months); however it doesn't seem like you have had a qualifying event (as described by COBRA law). The good news is that after exhausting your COBRA you are HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) eligible, which means you will qualify for some type of coverage depending on your State of resident.
Avatar m tn I am so far a healthy 43 year old/m in pa. I am trying to decide which health insurance plan will be good for my situation and I am looking for some opinions here. This Month my group plan ends and I can take cobra but there is no financial benefit to taking my same PPO plan which gives me to price break for being unemployed. So I am trying to look at this at a meaningful way. Since my PPO was $475/m plue $29 dental I just cant be paying that on my own now.
Avatar f tn It has been a significant program and it has helped many middle-class families to keep their health insurance at a time when maintaining health insurance was difficult because of the high rate of job loss," said Alan Krueger, the Treasury Department's chief economist. Official statistics on how many people were helped have yet to be compiled, but Krueger estimates that as many as one-third of eligible unemployed workers enrolled in subsidized coverage.

Avatar f tn How large is the fibroid, and did your Gynecologist recommend having a hysterectomy? You could get your own health insurance but most companies make you wait 3 months or more before they'll pay for any surgeries. Check out individual health insurance online. Some of the policies are very affordable.
Avatar n tn I hope I am posting this in the right forum. If not, please kindly direct me to the proper one. I am a 24 year old, homosexual male in otherwise excellent health. I have engaged in receptive anal intercourse at least once per year since 2002. In mid-2007, I began noticing warts around my anus. Over several months between late 2007 and about July 2008, I visited a dermatologist and had all warts burnt off.
Avatar f tn dont worry, sometime periods get irregular i dont think there is anything to worry about, if your periods will be regular.

Avatar m tn t display any of the symptoms other than the tired feeling. But I am unemployed without health coverage and end up taking naps at various times of the day and stay up late at night. Is there any information or a possible site to check out for the High Free T3 and Thyroglobulin? Could over the counted meds (Bayer Aspirin) or Tylenol 3 (for back pain) be the cause of the high numbers?
Avatar n tn Most areas have clinics where you register for a means test, and then an appointment costs $10 medication (however much) another $10. That is for the unemployed. If you have a job you can often bargain with many physician's for the visit. Wal-Mart seems to give excellent discounts for prescriptions. You really shouldn't let a bacterial infection continue.
Avatar n tn He will hold a job for about a year than he has some type of episode that causes him to loose his job. Because of this, it causes him to loose his health insurance and he needs medication. Is there any type of Disibility compensation that he can apply for. Without a job he cannot get his medications, which causes the condition to get worse. Please help!
Avatar f tn I live in cali And as long as you pregnant and unemployed they can't deny you for medical insurance.
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 n tn Depending on your salary alone, you may be entitled to more than just health insurance. For example, I was on maternity for most of 2013, and went back to work part-time for several months. I filed my income taxes married but seperate so when they looked at my income, they actually sent me a benefits card for me and "unborn 1" ha. I already have a 1.5yr old and she qualified for health insurance regardles.
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.
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?
Avatar m tn Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me with a health insurance question? About a year ago Anthem Covered two separate visits to the doctors office that I had gone to. So initially they paid and I thought I was all set. Now, almost a year later, they retracted payment due to my coverage ending within days of the visits. I understand if I wasn't covered, but I am wondering how they can pay for it and then decide they were wrong and bill me a year later?
6927110 tn?1393318669 The first thing you do is start looking for a dr with the new insurance. Once you have your dr picked out ask for your medical records that way on your first visit new dr is on the same page and has a plan for you and baby boy. Register to a hospital that corresponds to new insurance as with Kaiser we didn't have to do that. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

Avatar f tn I am going to lose my health insurance soon. I was wondering if anyone knows of any government programs I can participate in in order to afford doctors appointments and delivery.
10973576 tn?1414346147 If you can't get insurance through your employer, try applying for Medicaid.
Avatar f tn I just recently got accepted for medicaid and just wanted to wish u luck on getting it for yourself
Avatar f tn If you're in the USA than I believe by law, health insurance must cover pregnancy appointments and delivery. It doesn't matter if your on your parents insurance or not. Now, how much they pay could be iffy so you're best bet is to call or ask your mom to call. One thing to think about, grandchildren cannot be extended on to the grandparents health insurance most of the time.
