Insurance Woes
By now you should know that I was diagnosed with the big C...Cancer. Well if the diagnosis mixed with appointment after appointment wasn't enough, I have to think about my insured future better yet the future of my insurance. Well I finally got coverage in the form of Medicaid, up until I received Medicaid I was without insurance and paying out of pocket. May sound pathetic but I was ecstatic at the fact that I got coverage and it came right when I had nothing left to pay for anything and right before my referral to Memorial Sloan Kettering. During this time I also received some documents to join a healthcare plan under managed care. It seemed great and once again I just felt blessed beyond belief. Well due to the type of cancer my current oncologist suggested that I see a fertility specialist, he gave me the number to the best and after speaking to him the other day I was encouraged to make that call ASAP. So I called and found out that they don't take my insurance, and the only insurance that they take and that I could possibly get isn't taken by the hospital where I receive most of my treatments. Then I find out that memorial sloan kettering takes every insurance but the one I could get that the fertility people take. I feel stuck, annoyed and agitated. Everything is a fight or difficult. I never wanted this, I just want my normal life back.
