What do I do to pay for a medical operation? Serious. Please help?

Question

Recently I was told by the Dr. that I have a brain tumor and that I need to see a neurologist. The thing is, I was using medicaid up until that point because I was under 21. Now a month after I turn 21, I find out I have to have a serious operation, the only one I've ever had in my entire life and I have no idea how I'm going to keep my appointment next month.

Answer 1

You can always apply for medicaid if your income does not exceed the limit.  I dont see why you shouldnt have options in having health insurance even if you have to pay a family share of cost.  This programs is for low income families, you would have to pay a portion only.

Answer 2

Since the tumor was discovered before you were 21 you should still be covered.  Call your local Medicaid office to find out for sure.

Answer 3

Are you sure medicaid cut you off? They shouldn't have and you can apply for it again.
