I just got off the phone with my doctors (GP) office to see if they will lift the pay at time of service thingy on my account now that the fiscal year has rolled over for my state. I have medicaid which I guess in their minds makes me less of a person. I have to pay at least $75 every time I have to go to the doctor which makes it hard because if he prescribes any medicine there is a huge chance I can't pick it up because I can't afford it. The doctor I go to works for a nonprofit organization that is supposed to help out the poor. I'm not sure what their definition of poor is because I think I qualify big time. I set up a payment plan because they didn't tell me that if medicaid denies a claim that they can file for an extension of benefits but only for 90 days after. So because of that I owe them about $700. You'd think that the insurance department would just automatically file for the extension because at my Pdoc's office they do that and my pdoc is at a huge clinic. I guess I'm just mad because I have a migraine and would love to go to the doctor to get some samples or a lobotomy but can't afford to do so.
