Overall Rating:   | You might try contacting Medicare and Medicaid directly.
The phone number for Medicare is: 1-800-MEDICARE Toll-Free Number: 1-800-633-4227
Medicaid is a state-run system. I assume from your posting that you live in NY. In New York, you may be covered by Medicaid if:
-- You have high medical bills.
-- You receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
-- You meet certain income, resource, age, or disability requirements.
You can locate your local Medicaid office and their phone number, here:
