Medicare won't pay my surgery bill
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2016 4:36 am
Hello,
I have been placed in a serious situation. I am handicapped with kidney disease, chronic gout and rheumatoid I receive Medicare and was getting Medicaid. I have had hand surgery this month and had an infected hand for 5 weeks. I saw my doctor today and am having problems getting dressed, cooking and just minor little things. I am right handed and the surgery was on that hand, and both hands have deformity. My doctor was going to get me a home health worker so I could get dressed, wash my hair etc., but when I called Medicaid they said I no longer had it as of May 1st. I was never notified and Medicare won’t pay for the bill for the surgery. I am on a limited income (SSDI) and do not have the money for this surgery...is there any organization that can help me. I am stuck without being able to do anything at this point. If you know of any organizations that could help me it would be of so much help.
Thanks...I am located in Pueblo County.
Kindly,
