What is the name of your state Ohio
I am disabled due to mental health issues. My primary source of insurance has been medicare. I do get ohio state medicare if I meet the spend down each month. However after talking to a few different mental health advocates they said I should be setting straight medicade without the spend-down. The spend-down is $345 a month in bills I have to rack up in order for me to receive medicade benefits each month.
back track:
march - i got out of an unhealthy relationship and got mine own apt. I tried numerous times to get in touch with social services to alrt them of my changes
May 11: i had to go into an in-patient program because my mental health problems were out of control and I had to be medically stabilized for an eating disorder. there was no programs in ohio that took medicare and I had to travel all the way out to WI (which came out of my own pocket) and stay in a locked facility.
many more attempts to reach soc services. I would constantly get there voicemail in which the mail box was always full.
Finally this week got in touch with my worker and he said yes you are eligble for medicade and have been since 3/1/11. I was very frustrated because they have a eating disorder intensive out patient program 10miles from me and I did not have to travel so far away to such an awful experience of being in a locked facilty. The other health issue is I have no teeth knowing i could of had my dentures 6 months ago pissed me off. That adds to my mental illness, the anxiety I go through.
Is there anything I could do against soc services in terms of a suit? for pain and suffering and to get them to pay on the treatment facility/travel expenses I have top come out of pocket when treatment was avial to be all along.
