Have you tried to apply for Medicaid in your home state? You may be eligible for Medicaid if you fall within their income guidelines. I had Medicaid and it paid for all but $100 of the surgery, including all the fee's associated with the surgery...the psych eval, the blood test, the EKG and any other pre op test I needed. I did need a PCP, and usually Medicaid makes you get a PCP. I would start there first. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Good Luck, Marni [email protected]
