On SSD, SSI, Dropped From Mental Health Doctor. What To Do For The Medication ?
My wife and I were just dropped from our mental health doctor, who provided us with our medication . My wife is on SSD and SSI, she has insurance with minamal co-pays, I have no insurance and I wont have any for at least another 3 months. We live 6 miles from Collierville TN, and can not afford to travel any further than that for our mental health needs. Our problem is we can,t find a doctor that will even accept my wifes insurance for her monthly visits. I also need a doctor who will allow me to pay for my visits in small payments, as well as aid me in finding inexpensive medication for myself.
Please call your local social services and find out what the best way out is for you. I assume that you would have a social services administration office nearby whose 1-800 number must be on a website. I hope this helped. Please call 1-800-273-TALK if you have questions that are not answered by the personnel.
Take care and make the best of what you have !
