Amanda Higgins, EBS in Dodge County, recently helped a client who was initially referred to her for help with insurance issues. The client is not eligible for premium-free Part A and had a Marketplace plan with a high deductible. Moreover, she was facing bills of over $90,000 after receiving out-of-network care for a stroke. Amanda helped the client apply for financial assistance, which resulted in a significant percentage of the bills being written off. Amanda then helped the client set up a payment plan for the remainder of the amount owed. In addition, Amanda counseled the client about choosing a 2024 Marketplace plan that would be a better fit for her care needs, and the client met with an agent to enroll in a plan for next year. Finally, although the client was over the asset limit for Medicaid, thanks to Amanda's assistance, the client is now receiving $171/month in FoodShare.
