Question: From Indianapolis, Indiana, USA: Where can I get financial support for a doctor, insulin, and other diabetes supplies? If I get insurance from work, it won't cover my diabetes for up to a year since it is a pre-existing condition, and I am not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid because I'm not a mother or elderly. Answer: Please see my article Financial Aid. DM Additional comments from David S. Holtzman, Esq.: I am not aware of any source of financial assistance to people with diabetes who do not have insurance coverage for diabetes treatment. DSH [Editor's comment: I would inquire as to whether or not your employer's insurance plan has a period of "open enrollment". This is often the case for new employees and at the beginning of the insurance year. Typically during these periods, the pre-existing clause might be waived. SS] [Editor's comment: See Paying for diabetes expenses Free Drugs and some similar previous questions. WWQ] DTQ-20030221152647 Original posting 3 Mar 2003 Posted to Community Resources
