I am so confused.
My husband took our son to the hospital ER on Friday and they ran tests. We clicked on the computer and found that he has a aneurysm in his spine, why was he let go? He has an appointment with a Thoracic Surgeon tomorrow. We got the bill for $4000 from the hospital, even though we pay 358/month for his Blue Cross/Blue Shield as they said he was not authorized to have the tests done by his Prime Doctor I want to scream-----why was he released from the hospital. So we call up the hospital Social worker to apply for Medicade. I can't understand . It's called PA Compass. One question was the worth of our cemetary plot. What the hell. All we want for him is assistance in health care .
we will continue to pay for BCBS. Sorry, if this is rambling. See bottom post--still confused

8. The social worker at the hospital directed us to PA Compass.
lAs my husband typed, I search through the files for our savings, burial plots, any benefits my husband got from the Fed Gov. etc, etc. My husband has his PHD in Chemical Engineering for the DOE, but he did his undergraduate at Cornel in pre med. So he is able through some of test results. Thanks for encouraging words. I think I'll take a nap.
I'm confused. The hubby has a PHD in Chemical Engineering for the DOE but did undergrad at Cornel in pre-med, yet you are applying for MedicAID?? He doesn't have a job with good medical coverage?? HUH??
Sounds to me like some bad life decisions mixed in there someplace..

1. I'm not saying this to say this is a fictional :bouncy: , but there are enough large gaps in it that significant information is missing. The missing information pretty much precludes understanding the :bouncy: .
2. OhBummer!Don'tCare had a couple of huge effects. Companies that had good insurance plans and updated the plans did so with greatly increased expense; those plans that had employee contributions to the overall premiums increased those contributions significantly. OhBummer!Don'tCare cost me $1500-$2000 a year for several years (until I changed jobs). Less expensive (comparatively) individual plans that had limited tailored coverage were regulated out of existence and replaced with one-size-fits-all plans that either had affordable premiums but horrendous out-of-pocket deductibles or very high premiums and less awful deductibles. Sounds like the DU OP has the less expensive, horrendous deductible type of OhBummer!Don'tCare-compliant plan. And in trying to get on OhBummer!Don'tCare-expanded Medicaid, the DU-OP is learning the wonderful world of means-testing, :popcorn: .

My assumption is that the son is a developmentally disabled adult. No longer eligible to be on his parents' insurance, but unable to be employed.

It could be the son is 30 and can’t find a JB with his degree in lgbtxyz studies :-)

Calling BS on this bouncy. No way were they billed that quickly.
It takes months for the hospital to bill the insurance company to find out the amount they will cover before billing the balance to the insured.

Anyone raised by a primitive would be classified that way
