Medical Bills - Kidney Dialysis

Febuary 14th 2012 was one of the worst days of my life. That was the day my financee almost died due to chronic kidney failure. I thank God that he was brought into the emergency room by his co-workers that morning. My thoughts were only on him that day and asking God to save his life, not on the financial problems we could face after he was stabilzed and was able to go home from the hospital.

My now husband and I struggle financially in silence. We've tried to keep up with keeping on dual coverage with Medicare and Medicaid but we had a few month lapse with Medicaid last year from about June to October.  I haven't seen EOBs for his Dialysis treatments since his Medicare took effect, but I remember it was over $20,000.00 for one month of treatments back in 2012.

I want my husband to stay as healthy as possible, but when he was facing a 20% co-insurance he would only do his dialysis and didn't finish doing what he needed to do to get on the Kidney Donation list.

We also are struggling to eat as well as we should to keep what remaining kidney function he has left healty, due to how much it costs to buy fresh fruit, vegetables and meat. We do try, but with all our other bills we are working on getting uder control it's very hard for us to do right now.

So as a Valentine and Celebration of Life gift I decided to go public with My husband and my financial struggles. Thank you and God bless you for any financial support you want to give us.
