My mom just got turned down

[critter crazy]

Your mom dosent have health insurance???

That seems a little odd, especially since she has epilepsy, and the medications alone cost hundreds of dollars a month!

[Scooter's Mom]

I'm sorry for your mom. Sorry she was refused treatment at the hospital.

[Karen]

How sad. She should call her own doctor's office - assuming she has one - and most doctor's answering machines have the number to call for immediate assistance if needed, or they have an answering service that will page the doctor and get back to you.

Considering she has epilepsy and can't work, it's very odd that she doesn't have any kind of medical coverage, disability or medicaid.

Is she applying for anything like medicaid? She can apply for emergency assistance, and your family can apply for food stamps as well.

How are your asthma medication(s) paid for if there isn't any medical insurance?

Mom and dad really need to look into assistance.

Yep, she has a lawyer trying to get her on meticade. I only have to take Cingular for my asthma, the same with my mom. I dont know how my dad pays for it.

[Karen]

Hee hee - Reggie, the asthma medicine is spelled Singulair - you spelled it like the phone company!

I take Singulair as well, and it's not cheap, so I am always glad I have my insurance.

[critter crazy]

Yeah, I dont take Singulair, but I take Advair, which is pretty much the same thing, and yes it is very expensive.

My SIL Has epilepsy, and her medications would cost her roughly 400$ a month if she didnt have insurance.
