Hi –
I never thought I’d be in a situation of asking for help financially, but back I am on a limited income with Social Security and am unable to pay for a medication prescribed to me back in February of this year when I got COVID and went to the Emergency Room one night sick as a dog. After waiting hours to be seen, I was told I had COVID and was given a 30 day supply of medication. I took the medication immediately before leaving the hospital. About a month later, I received a bill from the hospital telling me I owed them $3211.01 for the medication. I was shocked since my medication is usually covered under my insurance. But the problem came when I found out they didn’t use my insurance card to cover it. They filled the script from their own pharmacy. I’ve been on the phone every month for the past 6 months with the hospital telling them I can’t afford it on my income, but I still continue getting a bill every month with interest accruing. Now I owe over $3400.00. They have told me I could make payments, but my income doesn’t allow the extra expense, and the interest that keeps accruing would eat into any payment I’d make. So here I am, asking for help to pay this off. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give. God bless. Thank you. My PayPal account is PayPal.me/MarciaLDePaula.
