My providers will sometimes do a double visit if they know the circumstance and most offices that deal a lot with Medicaid/Medicare will usually have some sort of assistance plan. Judging from what you told us; I would have some sort of conversation with some medical provider because I'm sure you've mentioned heart issues in the past. So I would really get checked out; and please ask if they would do that for you.


Our GP just charges a flat fee of 20.00 which is much less than what We would have to pay if he billed based on Medicare guidelines.

Beginning of the year we both have the 250 deductible we are paying off that balance 10.00 per month so they certainly are working with us.

20.00 comes out of our food budget. Sucks.
