My sister is 63 years old and lives in Granville County, NC. She is on oxygen 24/7, due to COPD and Congestive Heart Failure. Her only income is her Social Security check, and that is only $1,000 a month. She has no health insurance and her medical bills are adding up quickly. I am retired and on a fixed income myself and am not able to help her financially. She has been denied disability and medicaid several times that she has applied. Now, her oxygen supplier,LinCare out of Henderson, NC, is trying to take away her oxygen because she cannot pay the bill. Without the oxygen, she will surely die. Isn't this almost like murder? Shame on you LinCare!!! Is there any help out there...PLEASE???
i filled out hardship papers with people who we recieve our oxygen from they said they maybe able to cut our payment in half. see if your copany does this service
Excuse me but not everybody can afford money to come off their social security check, that check might be all they have to live on..my Mom is lucky enough to be living with me and I feel so sorry for others who don't have anybody to help them at all
It sounds to me like you're on Medicare. Sadly, your situation is not the first I ever heard where are Medicare won't cover something that someone needs. You can get a supplemental insurance or just ditch Medicare altogether and go with an alternate. You can look into Medicaid and see if you qualify, but you may also face the same issue unless your doctor can do the paperwork. If not, I would just go with an alternative insurance company and maybe even get two or three others if you can afford it. See which insurance companies cover what and go from there, you shouldn't have to pay for expensive oxygen out of your own pocket
