My girlfriend is currently 46 years old and is covered by Medicaid due to her disability, however she received a letter stating that her coverage will end in 3 months. They sent her information on how to apply for Medicare but there will be a significant monthly cost that she can not afford. She takes 5 different medications and if she had to pay for these meds it would cost her over $1000.00 dollars per month. She can not work and receives under $800.00 dollars a month from disability. Where can she get assistance? Is there a program or place out there that offers a low or no cost medical insurance and especially a prescription assistance program?
We live in Florida and Social Services will not help. I would appreciate any and all advice, thank you for your time and help!

There are more in depth assistance programs that you can get into. Do you know if your community has a localized insurance program aside from medicaid? Medicare has some extra assistance programs that you can look into that fit ur situation. Sometimes they base it on how long they have been disabled and what thier disability is.
You can apply for extra help by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or visiting www.socialsecurity.gov.

Check your state web site for medical coverage. Maryland offers a program as well as Virginia and Kentucky so maybe Florida. Call your local health department that is who we get insurance through.

move or go back where you came from whats keeping you in florida obviously not money or a good job it is not the place for people in your girlfriends situation. why dont you marry her so she can get on your insurance coverage if that will not help then really say bye byeand maybe try hawaii or oregon. why did you go to social services where did that come into play?

Since you left your historic activity on March thirteen, you continue to have time to signal up for COBRA now. By regulation, they ought to supply you a minimum of 60 days to make a decision. It perhaps a well proposal to signal up for COBRA simply if your new coverage certainly not will get straightened out or does now not duvet this prescription.
