Not enough on Oklahoma sooner care Medicaid
Posted: Tue May 24, 2022 7:03 am
Hi, I am writing to you today because I am at a complete loss at trying to get the medical attention I’m in desperate need of as Oklahoma sooner care does not provide enough help. I got my disability approved last August and got approved for sooner care. I couldn't find a doctor to take me as a new patient on sooner care.
I finally got in at Morton's health clinic went and sat 2 hours got in to see the Dr. and when he came in I just broke down trying to explain that I need a complete ankle replacement and help understanding my osteoarthritis.
I was diagnosed with almost 3 years ago and haven't been able to see a doctor because I can't afford medical insurance. So I was trying to explain this to the doctor and he wrote me a prescription for Prozac and sent me to the lab for blood work, not to get x-rays or anything to do with what my #1 reason why I was there for. I left and never heard nothing from them not even lab results or a follow up. I lost my social security card and they refused to see until I got a new one. You know what it is like to wait so long to see a doctor and to get absolutely no help when I finally do.
So now almost 3 years later I am experiencing not only the pain I have to deal with on my right ankle needing a complete replacement my left foot it has taken a toll on it so bad that my toes are separating and starting to look deformed. My whole point is I need health coverage. Not family planning I'm 54 years old and they put me on sooner care or sooner plan which covers mostly family planning stuff. I thought I could get Medicare due to the circumstances of my disability. But said I have to wait 2 years. I am so frustrated with all of this and all I need is to get to a doctor to at least look at my ankle and move forward to getting some relief for my medical needs. So please if you can help me with some guidance of anything in addition to Medicaid - OK Sooner Care I would be so very grateful. I did go to my social security office and waited 4 hours to tell me in less than 60 seconds they couldn't help me. I feel like I'm lost in the system and I just need medical attention.
Thank you
Terri
