My friend lives in Kansas.
She has a pancreatic tumor and needs to get it biopsied. Apparently that could cost up to $20,000?
She is currently immobilized by pain. She is a registered nurse but had her license suspended. Even though she is still officially employed by her job she can not use her employer's insurance because of the suspension.
She literally has no money. She tried to apply for KanCare, the Medicaid of her state, but they denied her because of her cars, which, according to blue book values, come up to be assets worth more than $800, despite each car being 10 years old and probably hard to sell for such prices.
ObamaCare was considered and I could help her pay her premiums but the open enrollment starts on the Nov. 15th and she needs help NOW. I am uncertain if she could apply for the special enrollment period since she technically wasn't fired from her job and even if she was it has been more than 60 days.
She has no credit built up but is quite capable of paying off dept once she is able to return to her job as a RN.
I've considered cosigning with her on a loan. We've also considered Medicare. Her hospital won't accept any special payment plan deal with her doctor...Her doctor considered the option of taking her to the emergency room but apparently her condition isn't bad enough to do that yet.
Please, any advice or suggestions will be much appreciated. Should she contest/dispute the rejection of KanCare?
