Is There Financial Help For Persons Diagnosed With Ovarian Cancer?
I was rushed for a hystorectomy in sept 06 and did not need chemo or other treatment but it is time for my 6 mth pap smear and i still owe my GYN for surgery in 06….i work but make very little..im scared to not get screened…..but i dont have the financial means..isnt there some type of help for those with histories of cancer?
I can’t believe that your GYN won’t see you just because you owe them money. You should call their billing department and work out a payment plan so that you can be seen right away.
If that doesn’t work, you can contact your county’s department of social services. If you are low income and have large debt, they will get you in to see doctors. You must get screened.
Yes, there is money available, contact your DHHR for a medicaid card it may be retroactive. And why aren’t you getting pap smears and everything woman done at the Planned Parenthood?? They will refer and it is free.
