Getting patient assistance for paying for me meds (that run over $1200/month) was a challenge in the past......so I was holding my breath as financially, I am not in a good place at all.

Stupidly, I had not bothered applying before as I thought the refinance of the California house would go through & then I wouldn't qualify because there would be money for the donut hole cost of $4050 + that I have to pay each year with the part D for prescriptions. Well, when the refi didn't go through, I was already into having to pay for the whole med cost each month. I got the paperwork in immediately & had to get the form to my pain specialist also to fill out his part. I got that taken care of & faxed it into them.....called to find out if they got it & found that I hadn't signed something that needed to be signed...of course, they couldn't have called me???? So I signed it & faxed that immdeiately. I gave them a week to look it over....then called them when they suggested, only to find out that there was another form I had to fill our that they had faxed to my pain specialist to have me sign. Well, I had just been into my Dr office just before I called them & they hadn't given me any form that needed filled out. This was about 4:30pm & they were closing at 5 for the memorial weekend. I had them fax the form to the library where I do all my faxing.....I drove there & got the form....signed it & faxed it back at 5:04pm.

I called them at 9:30am this morning immediately after they opened & asked it they got the form...& asked when I would know if I qualified.....they said that was all they needed was that form to be filled out & I WAS QUALIFIED!!!!! Yahoo.....that is worth at least 2000.

Now I can pay my propane bill as it is due by the end of this month. I turned off the pilot light to my furnace....feel like I am saving $100's/month by doing that. It's nice to feel as through I am saving money as it makes me feel as if I am earning a bit by saving...not that there isn't already a lot of money due that I have to put that savings toward......

But it feels good to get these things taken care of.....as when I was around my husband, I was too destracted to get anything accomplished like this.

It's interesting how God takes care of us.....especially when we are honest about other things.....as I received a check for a credit on one of my accounts that I hadn't done any business with for oner a year, so knew that was a mistake.....sent the check back. Then, the check for the insurance money that covered what was stolen out of my truck....they made a mistake & exactly doubled the amount that I was supposed to get....cause I knew there was a $1000 deductible.....I called them & sent that check back to get corrected. I ended up getting more than that back with the patient assistance......so I know that God is taking care of me.

At least good things are finally happening.

What a beautiful story Deb! Things certainly come to those who wait. I've always told my husband (who doesn't believe me) that its a priority to be kind and honest.

Your story brought a song to my heart. Thanks for sharing!

That's really good news, I am glad everything worked out.

(((((((eskie)))))) How wonderful! I know how expensive meds are and how challenging it can be to get them without proper insurance coverage. I am so happy for you.

I also admire you for your honesty. Notifying the companies of their mistakes and sending them the checks back...wow. I know that was the honest thing and the right thing to do. But for you to have done that while you were struggling financially yourself. Knowing that it was their mistake and you could have easily taken the money and noone would have been the wiser, that says alot about your character!

I guess honesty is the best policy, lol! Yours definitly paid off and then some! Sounds like God has blessed you for this good deed.

It's this kind of story that confirms to me the saying "You always get what you need". Sometimes we don't get what we think we want....and there is good reason for that. But we always get what we need.....I truly believe it!

OMG! This is great! I know how concerned you were about your meds as I have read many posts regarding this!

My dad used to say that God will provide...and I'm sure this is one of his ways!

That is really great that you got coverage for your meds. It's so hard to pay for them without proper insurance coverage. I'm really glad that this has been settled in your favour. And I absolutely believe in what goes around comes around. You did the write thing by notifying those companies of their errors and returning the cheques. That shows you have very strong morals. I hope you continue to get what you deserve.
