Success Is Everything

By Carla Web


You can throw all the junk mail away you want however if there's a bill in there you can be sure it will not be away for long, in fact you could start to see more mail come your way if your bills get forwarded on to collections.

If you have had one medical procedure done you will notice several bills come to your home or office. When you can't pay these bills it can become a great burden of stress however did you know that it doesn't have to take a long time to get help getting these bills paid.

If you are over 65 you qualify for Medicare- a social insurance program funded by the federal government, if you are low-income your family may qualify for Medicaid. Medicaid is the larges source of funding for medical and health related services for people with limited income in the United States.

At Social Service Coordinators they have health advocates that can and will help you navigate what your health benefits are and they have a data base of over 8,000 public and private social programs in all 50 states.

Who wants to pay a bunch of money to a doctor in hopes that they can navigate your health plan- no one. Most health insurance companies use Social Service Coordinators , because they can offer it as a free benefit from them to you, and it is free to you because health insurance companies don't have time to research programs in your area that might be low-cost or free, they have asked SSC to do the research and pass on their knowledge to their customers- you.

Social Service Coordinators has an extensive database of nearly 8,000 public and privately-sponsored social programs in all states. The Golden Touch database of programs enables SSC advocates to determine what programs a member may qualify for in a simple phone interview. From there, the appropriate forms are completed electronically for submission to the program sponsor. Remember if you want to get help with those bills, take a little time out of your schedule and get help from an advocate.

In addition to Golden Touch, other Medicare Savings Programs , (MSPs) are currently available; these programs help millions of Medicare members save money each month. All states have programs for people with limited income and resource that pay some or all of their Medicare premiums or even their deductibles and co-payments.

Those members who are found eligible for a Medicare Savings Program can automatically qualify to receive "Extra Help" to pay the premiums, annual deductible an doc-payments related to Medicare Part D (the Medicare Prescription Drug Program). You can get those medical bills paid, and help on future bills as well, don't delay.
