I was at my psychiatric care provider today, and I asked if they took Humana Medicare Advantage plans. My psychiatric care provider is a charitable, not-for-profit organization that treats people with severe and persistent mental illness.
They told me I could sign up for any Advantage plan I wanted. They don’t need my Medicare because I receive indigent funding. I was homeless back in 2008, out of involuntary psychiatric treatment in the hospital, when my care provider started treating me.
I guess I’m a little proud now, as I would like to be paying for my own treatment. But maybe I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. What do you think?
Last June when I was on 5mg Abilify, I was hallucinating and paranoid. I wrote letters to my case manager trying to get discharged. I thought Dr Smith my psychiatrist was out to get me.
What @ninjastar said! Personally, I think this is great news. You’ve been financially stressed as of late you’ve said and this will help relieve that. I like it when people get the resources they need when they need them.
