I have written before that the government is good at providing wound care supplies, I give them an A+ but after speaking with health and human services yesterday, I fear that grade is going to be drastically lowered!
With all of the hours we spent on the phone, and it’s a ‘we’ because speaking is difficult for me in the a.m. and when I first wake up. We had to call earlier than I am able to freely speak. After she explained that I am not poor enough, she told me all the hoops I need to jump through to get my appointments and everything covered. It was a mess! I AM disabled!?! Hoop jumping is not my thing but in this regard, I think that it has to be.
My Mom got the van today for my haircut today and MRI tomorrow and she was calling places to have them send me my medical bills. She called the wound care clinic for the visiting nurses and we were told that Medicare pays for wound care home visits 100%!
I was completely shocked at hearing this but I don’t need to submit invoices for the wound care I am receiving because I am not being billed. That is really great! At least one thing! So I think that I will have to get the government a ‘C’ overall and that is completely due to the wound care apparatus of the health system! My feet are still killing me by the way and Sonya is coming on Monday.
