I indeed have no coverage. The income number they have for me would calculate out to be double my actual income. I have to send them paystubs, after which it could take another 45 days for them to make a determination. Here's a potential kicker... they go month by month. Soooo, the wage bump that work gives us for a short time during the busy season could actually put me over(??), when considered monthly. I don't know. But in the meanwhile, there is nothing I can do. And if/when they reject me again, I will have to start all over again. From scratch. It takes 2-3 months to get in where I've had my mental health care. So I could easily be looking at having no insurance and no care for months and months.
I'm in shock right now, but it won't be long till I go straight up desperate despair. These sorts of situations never fail to follow that trajectory.
I started crying getting off the train. I'm trying to make it in today (I was sick this morning which was the only reason I could stay on hold for such a ridiculous length of time).

Seriously. F.M.L.

I think I would have lost my crap after being on hold after nearly three hours, but I think that is standard for insurances.
I'm sorry you have no coverage as of now. I'm am on Medicaid too so I'm constantly terrified of going over the cutoff; since I usually have overtime. I hope Medicaid rules in your favor.
As others have mentioned some clinics/hospitals have either a sliding fee or an assistance program for those that need it. GoodRX is something to look into too, depending what you are on some companies make a card for those without insurance or public insurance so if's newer in nature that might be something to look into as well. Sending you many
