Today my husband and I met with the Cancer Counselor for Access to Healthcare.
Let me explain what Access to Healthcare is. It's a wonderful organization that provides discounted health care services with local providers. Right now it's only available in Nevada. But it should be a Nationwide program. Truly.
For our whole family for complete coverage (it's NOT insurance) it is $90 a month. That covers medical, dental and vision.
If you do not have insurance I would encourage you to check it out if you live in Nevada. www.accesstohealthcare.org
As an example, the normal cost for chemotherapy is $3,000 a week. With ATH it is $500. It's amazing what is available out there. In my opinion this is a better option than insurance. There are income requirements as well as proof of Nevada residency. However, for people in a similar situation that my family is in....I highly recommend you check out the website or call their office.
We met with Nancy today. She was so helpful and very informative regarding what to expect cost wise. I no longer feel like this will bankrupt us.
I've prayed that there would be a way to not go into debt over this treatment and surgery, etc. Access to Healthcare is the answer to that prayer.
Wig shopping tomorrow!!!
I'm glad your praying worked, and thank's for the tip on the healthcare site!!! You know I can use it!
