Medical bills old & new have me stressed
Broke and, Yakima, w
I'm 34, have had medical problems for a few years, rapidly advancing osteoarthritis being a huge problem, but a sleep disorder(dsps), depression, and possibly fibromyalgia(Dr. suspects it, but wasn't sure last time I saw him).
I no longer have health insurance, I am only working part time. Due to pain I can not work more than that. I'm stuck in that I can't work more so I can't afford to go to the Dr for needed treatments or medications that would enable me to work more.
It's incredibly frustrating.
So here's what I need and what it's for:
1-I need to pay some lab bills before I would be allowed back at my regular doctors office (had these done when I still had insurance, but couldn't afford my part and still keep the heat on). That's $220.00 plus $50.00 to actually see my doctor.
2- An old hospital bill got sent to collection, which then got taken to court and a garnishment was awarded, my checks aren't big enough to make it to the allowable garnishment amount so they went back to court and have frozen my bank account. I had a whole $22.35 in there, so that's all they got out of that, but I can't use that account to pay my household bills because anything I would put in there would be taken for the garnishment leaving me unable to pay rent, electric, etc. I would always pay these over the phone through my account as my pay schedule leaves little to no mailing time. That bill is now at about $1700.00.
3- I still need physical therapy from an injury I'm still dealing with from 6 months ago, that's $150.00 a visit and I'm not sure how many they would require me to go to to learn the various exercises and maintain my progress so that I can get back to walking without the cane and to ease my back pain. So lets just say 2 visits for now, making that $300.00
4- my hospital bill from my injury(the reason I need all the physical therapy)I bruised my femur, tore up my knee (not enough to require surgery, but enough to keep me from walking for a while) and injured my back. It is currently $3300.00 but I'm trying to work with the hospital on bringing that down.
5- I need eye exam and new glasses, last time I was there 6 years ago it was about $500.00 for everything
6- I need to go to the dentist, I had 2 temporary crowns put on 2 years ago, and I need to have the final crowns put on before one of these breaks. thats about $1600.00
In total that's about $7670.00 that I need. That is more than half of my yearly earnings, and it's all for health related stuff! It seems crazy that it takes so much money to maintain a little bit of health.
If I could get enough to cover the garnishment amount and the lab bill so I could see my doctor again and get my bank account access back, it would go a long way towards keeping me sane and taking off a little bit of stress.
That is $1970.00
If I were to receive more than that it would go to the rest of my health care needs as shown above.
