I Need Surgery But Have No Money Or Insurance Can I Get Some Help?

I am sorry to hear of your medical and financial situation. I know it must be very disheartening to be in your situation. I regret I am unable to do something other than, provide you with what I hope will good direction.

I do not know where you live and so I cannot give the names of places or agencies to contact. I will give you some general information. First, I would suggest you talk with your doctor. Explain the situation you are in, and ask if, there is an agency he/she is aware of, which can provide you with assistance. Also, if you are a church goer talk with your pastor, minister and ask if, he/she knows of a place you can go for help.

If, you are in the income bracket "poverty level," I suggest you apply for Medicaid Medical Assistance. Go to the local Medicaid office in your town or city, and speak with one of the counsellors. Take a proof of income statement with you, and a list of any assets you own other than your home and your car. Your assets will be your checking account balance, and the most recent statement from any other assets you possess such as stocks, bonds, IRA, Retirement fund, etc. If, you have none of these assets, then simply explain your financial situation and take with you a copy of your 2005 tax report. Aslo take a copy of your most pay stub or if you are on Medicare or Medicare Disability then take your most recent statement of annual income with you. They may also, request information about your 2006 taxes.

Go to the hospital where your surgery would be performed and ask to speak with someone abut making payment arrangements for the surgery you need to have. Many times hospitals can make these type of arrangements and will sometimes lower the cost as well.

If, you have family tell them your situation and ask for any help they can offer to you. Sometimes, families can help out in these situations once we make them aware. Meanwhile, if you believe in prayer, then pray for guidance and do not stop praying, until something good happens! Good Luck!
