So I was on this insurance called Healthy Way LA for a few years. After the Obama Covered California went into affect we were told that Healthy Way LA was going to discontinue and I would automatically be moved to MediCal. So that transition went somewhat smoothly and I received my Identification Card. Now out of nowhere I received a letter saying I am no longer qualified for MediCal and my benefits would stop at the end of this month which is tomorrow. Great so I have Type One Diabetes so unlike other people with health insurance who hardly ever even use it I need mine. I go to the doctor every month and the supplies that I need for Diabetes are always needing to be refilled. There is no way I could just walk into a pharmacy and pay out of my pocket the cost of what that all cost not to mention the multiple visits I have at the doctor and nurse practitioner for my management. It really makes me steaming mad when someone down at DSS is just pushing buttons and sends me a letter saying that I don't qualify. Obviously every situation is different and I was coming from another program that automatically made me qualify. So now I am trying to see the covered california site to see what i qualify for there and I set up an account and it wont let me log in great. I cant restart the application because it registers that my account already exist, the account they wont let me log into. This has just been a nightmare week except for the fun and good times at Thanksgiving. I really don't know where to go or what to do. I was also told by my nurse practitioner before the universal health care came into affect that I should be able to now be eligible for some of the diabetic management supplies like the pump or continuous glucose monitor.
hmmm stuck in a corner.
