Medicaid/medicare will not cover for my dads hearing aid he is very depressed need help!? |
Hi im wanting ideas of what i can do. My dad is disabled he is completley deaf from one ear and pretty deaf from the other one.He just had open heart surgery which has affected his hearing even more. Now the hearing aid that he got a little over a year ago and which medicaid/medicare paid for is not working for him at all anymore. We took him to the ear doctor and they tested him and showed the results in paper. We went to the medicaid and medicare office and they said they only cover one every 5-6 years. My dad is very depressed and Im wanting to know if anybody know where I can look for help, or if there is anyway to appeal this. Its not like he is trying to get a new one he really needs it. Hes 54. Please any ideas are welcomed. Thankyou well,it seems that he is disabled, so you can get disability and that brings in money, and medicare probabley wont help because you have to be 62-65 to be able to get medicare. You can try with medicaid again and if hes not retired he can apply for unemployment. Was your dad a veteren? MY Dad served in the army from 69 to 72 and the local VA Pays for his (100%) hearing aids every year (and they cost like 2 grand). Take the one he has back to the place he got it and see if they can help him at all. They may be able to adjust what he has so it works better for him. |
