QUESTION
How do I go about getting an oxygen therapy when I don't have the money for it?
Asked on Sep 13th, 2012 on Personal Injury - Tennessee
More details to this question:
I'm told over and over "seek treatment” (or it doesn't look good). If the treatment I seek is the oxygen therapy and I don't personally have the money to get it, how do I go about getting it?

Why should someone else pay for it? You might apply for welfare.

Most plaintiff attorneys know physicians who will treat patients on a lien basis [collect their charges after the auto injury case is settled].

Is this an auto accident where someone else was at fault? If so get you a personal injury attorney and let him help you find proper medical care. if this is not an auto accident see social services and see if they can help direct you.

Do you have medical insurance? If you don't then do you qualify to medicaid?

Is your need for oxygen therapy a result of an auto collision that was someone else's fault? If so, there may be ways to get the treatment you need and the healthcare providers to wait for payment until settlement. If your oxygen therapy is not related to an auto collision, and depending on where you live, there may be public district hospitals and healthcare centers who can assist you in getting the care you need on a sliding scale. Speaking with an attorney to get pointed in the right direction may help.

If you were in an auto accident and it was not your fault, you set-up a third party claim with the hospital. Otherwise, your insurance should cover it.

If your health insurance won't pay for it then you must pay for it.
