I live in Florida and was in a rehab facility for 3 months. I was trying to get on Medicaid and was asking the rehab for help with this process. After waiting a long time the outcome was as followed.
I was referred to elder law had a 2 hour meeting with the PA, myself and my son, with attorney on speaker phone. We signed paper work and she was to approach the business with a plan that they 0 out the balance and carry it over so that it would be covered by Medicaid. She charged my credit card for 2500$ for the fee and nothing was ever done.
I am in debt for around $13,000 which is the deductible for Medicare. The business office wants me to make payments arrangements but I am afraid to go about this on my own as I do not trust them. They were not up front with me as to the charges that were accruing. I am not sure what to do. I have been told by them that unless they hear from me they will pursue legal action. Please help.
Thank you.

While Medicare is different, and the deductibles are not the same, it still may be possible to get help.
There are various programs available. Non-profits, charities, and other agencies can help.
But learn more here, on assistance paying deductibles. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... sista.html
