Medical Card..?

Question

I live with my dad and im 17, my mom died last year. But i cant get my medicinces because i cant get a medical card up here!! they cut it off n i need my medicines! what should i do??

Answer 1

Your Dad should put you on his health insurance. You can usually stay insured under your parents untill 22 if you attend school.

Otherwise, are you getting social security benefits from your Mother's death (you should be) until 18 yrs old.

Last resort: have a clinic write your perscriptions and (1) buy drugs from the $4 Wal-Mart pharmacy plan or (2) write to the drug company and see about getting free and/or discount drugs from them -- they usually have various programs for people if they qualify for drug assistance.

Answer 2

Contact your State Health Care, Federal Health Care, City Health Care, County Health Care, Local Churches, Local Mosques, Local Charities, eventually one will respond. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Contact your Doctor and tell them that you need a medical card so that you will be registered to get your medication. If that fails ask them for your local PCT (Primary Care Trust) and they should issue you with a Medical card.

Answer 4

I dont know where up here is,, but your dad is the one you should be talking to, if you need meds your dad should be able to help you with that. If not then you need to go to your local Dept of health and human service dept. But that is still going to require your dads help. Im sorry about your mom. If you need help talk you can go to any mental health faculities and they may be able to guide you into what you need to do, good luck kiddo and happy holidays,,, may god be with you,,,,,,
