[QUOTE="OTE, post: 4304"] I've been down this road but not in Mn and it varies from state to state. But I can give you a bunch of places to ask. Make as many calls in a day as you can within your schedule and emotional limits. DON'T give up. I promise you that there is a way to pay for this out there! First be sure that none of the state programs will cover you. Read all the rules here: [url]http://www.cdf-mn.org/[/url] 2. Call the hospital billing dept and ask for a list of charities, public programs, etc that might help you. Also ask if they have a "subsidy" or "charity care" program within the hospital that you might qualify for. I believe that any hospital that takes Medicaid funds has to have something. But many go above and beyond and do their own fundraising for these kinds of situations. 3. Call your local or state capital NAMI. Ask them what programs, charities, etc they know of. 4. Call the SW dept at the hospital and ask what programs, funds, etc they know of. Then call the SW for the specific program your son will be going into. 5. When all else fails call the hospital billing dept again and ask what kinds of payment plans you can work out with them. 6. Remember that a significant medical bill is likely to create a tax deduction on your tax return. Some more places to try: [url]http://www.pacer.org/[/url] Obviously this is for children of farmers but I'm putting it here only so you get the idea that you never know where funds will come from.
