Why Fight the Bills
You might not have all the $$$ to pay medical bills right now but that does not give anyone the right to deny you treatment.
If you have had one medical procedure done you will notice several bills come to your home or office. When you can’t pay these bills it can become a great burden of stress however did you know that it doesn’t have to take a long time to get help getting these bills paid.
If you are over 65 you qualify for Medicare- a social insurance program funded by the federal government, if you are low-income your family may qualify for Medicaid. Medicaid is the larges source of funding for medical and health related services for people with limited income in the United States.
Another option is Medicaid which is a health program for low-income families. To know the best coverage for you or someone you love would be to talk to a health advocate to see what you might qualify for.
Health insurance companies use Social Service Coordinators , because they can offer it as a free benefit from them to you, and it is free to you because health insurance companies don’t have time to research programs in your area that might be low-cost or free, they have asked SSC to do the research and pass on their knowledge to their customers- you.
SSC has developed an extensive database of nearly 8,000 public and privately-sponsored social programs in all states. The Golden Touch database of programs enables SSC advocates to determine what programs a member may qualify for in a simple phone interview. From there, the appropriate forms are completed electronically for submission to the program sponsor.
If you do qualify for Medicare there are Medicare Savings Programs , (MSPs) available, these programs help millions of Medicare members save money each month.
Those members who are found eligible for a Medicare Savings Program can automatically qualify to receive “Extra Help” to pay the premiums, annual deductible an doc-payments related to Medicare Part D (the Medicare Prescription Drug Program). You can get those medical bills paid, and help on future bills as well, don’t delay.
Improve your health with Social Service Coordinators.
