Does medicaid help pay for chemotherapy fees?
My sister, the HER2 breast cancer patient, is disabled and is on medicaid/medicare. She receives SSI.
She received a bill for $300 from the hospital saying that it was her co-pay for the testings she had done. This hospital was the hospital that diagnosed her.
Her care was moved to another hospital which is a better cancer research hospital. Her testing for the staging, MRIs, CT SCAN, doctors, but has not received a bill from medicare from her current hospital. The billing department said that all the bills would be paid by medicare/medicaid. The first hospital is my husband's hospital. We've had issues were they bill us incorrectly.
Should we turn this bill over to medicaid/medicare or have a social worker handle this for us? She's concerned that her upcoming chemotherapy treatments won't be covered. I'm under the impression that they will pay for them. Thanks.
