Medicaid for Mom

Charlotte — Thu, 13 May 2010 22:11:19 +0000

My niece and I have been busy getting stuff together to get my Mom on Medicaid so we can get her into a nursing home. As of tomorrow we will have everything we need. You have to jump through hoops and bend over backwards to get them everything they need.

They want bank statements from January 2006 to present and mom didn’t have a lot of those on hand so I had to get in touch with the bank to get them. They normally charge $5 a statement and to get all of them would have cost about $240 but I explained the situation and was only charged $50. The same goes for her credit union account, they charge $3 a statement and statements are issued quarterly. That will only cost me $36. They were both nice and worked their printers and receipt printers almost to the breaking point to get these for me.

I called the medicaid office to speak to the woman I was dealing with and her phone just rang and rang.. no voicemail or anything. Her card had an email address and I sent an email but by the end of the workday I hadn’t gotten a return email or call from her. I need to make an appointment with her to bring her the papers she needs. I will try calling again tomorrow and if I can’t get in touch with her I’ll try the main number and see if someone can help me.

Busy today

Today I have to do a lot of running around. 1st I have to go to the bank and make a deposit. Then I have to go to WaWa and get a couple things. Then the laundromat… *YUK*. Then to CVS and get hubby’s meds refilled. Then to Shoprite to get some lunchmeat and cheese.

Then I’m sure Andi will need to go somewhere so I’ll have to run out again. Sometime today I also have to get gas in the car.

So now I need to get dressed and get moving. Have fun today everyone!!

I am still alive….

Really I am… I’ve just been really busy trying to find a place to live and packing. I haven’t really had much time to do any postings here or on any of my blogs.

Benton is doing great. Andi said he had his 1st doctor appointment yesterday and he’s gained back the weight he lost after his birth and then some and is “the picture of health”.

Problems are still running rampant in this family though. Andi was visited by the bank’s repo guy the other day and now she no longer has a car. She told me that on the good side of that she no longer has a $520 a month car payment on a car she doesn’t like. That is all the Army’s fault as she hadn’t gotten a paycheck since the beginning of June and it didn’t help that the bank would not work with her at all. I have Ford Motor Credit for my car and I’m behind in my payments too but they are working with us. They say they want to keep their customers and vehicles together. They deferred the 2 months we are behind and tacked them on to the end of the loan. So we are good to go.

So since Andi won’t be able to come here with the baby we will probably be making a quick trip to Pennsylvania to see them soon. I can’t wait to see Andi and Benton. We’ll get to meet her boyfriend Drew too.

JoJo has been helping me pack. She’s been the “inspector”. She gets on the packed boxes and even in the empty boxes to “inspect” them and give her seal of approval. She climbs into open cabinets and drawers… basically ~~getting in way~~ being cute.

Well… back to work.. there’s lots to clean and pack!!

Oh my holy crap!

That’s not bad news… it’s shockingly good news. I thought my worker’s comp ran out last month but today I got 3 checks from them in the mail. Two checks were for the full amount I was getting every 2 weeks and the 3rd said final check and was for 1 week. I am happy dancing like crazy here. These checks couldn’t have come at a better time.

Now I have to go and get these in the bank ASAP. I just had to post this real quick before running back out the door… I just HAD to tell someone!
