On a side note if you are able to pay out of pocket some doctors will work a better rate. When the doctors bill insurance companies they often don't get the full amount so when private pay they will sometimes work with you. I know it is expensive though. Also for some meds if you don't have insurance you can get it free through the company. Your doctor just fills out a form and they send the filled meds to your doc office and you pick it up there. Hang in there.
Thanks Daniella for the information. I no longer have insurance. Denied one time SSDI. Trying again. I find my Dr. appts. have cash pay for less than what is charged ins. co. Also on one med , seroquel xr first month free-following months are discounted. I'm really hoping for SSDI. Take care, and know we are thinking of you. loretta with big hugs
