I talk with individuals almost every day who need disability benefits but don't have a doctor. Many people can't afford a doctor because they can't work and have no medical insurance.
You might think that Obama Care has made it possible for everyone to be insured, but that just is not the case. The government health insurance is often too expensive to afford. And persons who are not working and have no income don't qualify for Obama Care. Even if you're one of the few people fortunate enough to get insurance, you may have to pay the first several thousand dollars out of your own pocket, making it impossible to see a doctor.
One thing I can tell you for sure, you can't get approved for disability benefits unless you have a doctor. So, where do you turn?
Fortunately, there are a number of very good community clinics in Limestone, Madison, Morgan, Lawrence and Cullman counties that treat individuals who have low income and no insurance. There are some over in the Jackson and Marshal County areas, too.
I had a client call me today to tell me that she had found a "wonderful doctor" at one of these clinics. She said she had just returned from her first appointment and the doctor had spent over an hour checking her out and writing some much needed prescriptions. She wanted to thank me for referring her to the doctor.
It's discouraging to see people with diabetes, high blood pressure, seizures, and all manner of other problems who could be helped with regular medical care and low cost drugs. There is a doctor for you. All you have to do is find him or her. Call my office and we will send you a free list of clinics in northern Alabama (or southern Tennessee) that you can call.
Whether you get SSDI benefits or not, finding a doctor to provide good healthcare will be a tremendous help to you.
