As I mentioned earlier, after I dropped William off at his assessment, I met another client at Jobs and Family Services to help him apply for Medicare. He was thousands of dollars in debt from medical bills. He had Part A Medicare, which covers medical care, but not Part B, which covers doctors. For a while, he was in and out of the hospital every couple weeks for depression. His stay was covered by Part A Medicare, but every time a doctor came to see him, he was slammed with another bill.
At the service center, we were able to get him Part B. He also qualified for the Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB) program, which is for people who receive Part A Medicare and whose income is 100% below the poverty line. The state will pay the premiums for services covered by Medicare. He also qualified for food stamps.
I’m so happy. The little victories really do help.
