What can you do if you are disabled and have no insurance and need help with medical bills?

People who become disabled from an illness or injury are generally elibible for SSD or SSI depending upon their individual circumstances. When a person qualifies for Social Security Disability benefits they can usually receive early Medicare and/or Medicaid. Visit the Social Security Administration website or call 1-800-772-1213 for information about qualification requirements and the application procedure. Please be advised there is a waiting period after the application has been submitted. For job related injury or illness the person should also contact the Workman's Compensation Insurance provider for his place of employment. http://www.ssa.gov Note that the waiting period for Medicare for disabled people is 2 YEARS...for for that period the disabled are on their own as far as medical care goes
