I have Lupus and as a result need to see a Rheumatologist but also should be regularly seeing a neurologist for the neuropathy, cardiologist for myocarditis, ENT for the rhinitis sinusitis, pulmonologist for the pleuritis, gastroenterologist for the gastritis, dermatologist for the psoriasis, ophthalmologist for the blepharitis, endocrinologist for the thyroiditis and probably more than I’m forgetting. While I make a modest salary, I’m a single mother in an expensive state and pay a $250 biweekly premium but must meet a $6,000 deductible before my employer sponsored plan will pay a sent for medications or doctor visits. I take the max out on an FSA card but that doesn’t even cover half a year of my own monthly meds, let alone doctor visits and injections for my sons genetic growth disorder. I haven’t seen a doctor in 6 months and yet I’m terrified to walk into any of my doctors offices knowing they’ll hound me on my outstanding bills. How is this okay?
