A medical question regarding not having insurance?
Question : A medical question regarding not having insurance?
I live in Austin Texas and need medical attention don’t have barely any money to pay for expenses. I have thousands of dollars worth of unpaid medical bills and no insurance I try to pay them off as soon as I can but I can’t pay it anytime soon. I have a problem on my leg and the more I work the more it hurts and causes more problems. Is there a way sort of like www.Safeguard.net (this is for dental and vision that I know of) but for medical insurance where it is really cheap? I just got sent home from work today cuz this pallet just scraped me in the leg and I got alot of pain from it. It is a red wound that a few years back was wide open for the whole year of ’05 from January to January it was severe open wound. They say it is cellulitis also with varicose veins. I am 29 years old, male. I don’t know does anyone else know of this and if there is affordable insurance out there? Sorry it was really long but I do feel the need to ask?

You may have a sliding scale medical clinic in your area. You may ask for financial aid at the hospital when you sign-in. I do not know of any plans. Try to apply for Medicaid and Medicaid Step Down at The Dept. for Families and Children. Call Your Local Health Department some have free night Medical Assistance One Day Per Week. Medications call GLAXSCOSMITH.com some medicines are free mailed to your home.Walmart has a $ 4.00 Program NOW for medicines.
One option is called a Health Savings Account Insurance Plan. You buy a policy with a high deductible, and you can put aside money into an account that is to be used only for medical expenses. That money is tax deductible, and some of the banks who offer these accounts will pay you interest on your money. It will probably get you a bigger refund on your taxes, and you can use that refund to pay some of your past medical bills.
As for the immediate treatment of your injury, have you looked in your area for a free medical clinic? Is there a place where you can walk into an emergency room or acute care center and get treatment even if it means more bills? You don’t want to lose your leg or the use of it because that will put you in further financial problems.
