Medicaid Works Questions/Help Virginia
I am disabled (major mental illness), 40 years old female. No children. I live with my dad. I get SSDI at $1441.90 a month and then they take out the Medicare premium of $202.xx. My job just recently eliminated my position and I am now in a different position where I will make way less money then before. I basically will be making min wage at $12.77 now plus *maybe* a .15 raise I just got. I am not sure if they are really going to add the raise. I will be working either 12 or 18 hours a week. My new position is already driving me crazy and I don't know if I can mentally handle it. I lost my medicaid at the end of last year when all the changes happened. I made too much under my previous position. I have spent at least $3170.30 in Medicare premiums, copays and prescription costs so far for this year. When they told me I had a spend down it was some ridiculous amount like $7k. I think.
I read about Medicaid Works program. I am not sure how that exactly works or if I might now be eligible.
I recently spent so much money on my medications that I capped out at out of pocket costs for UHC. I think my meds should all be covered now for the rest of the year but not sure yet. Haven't refilled yet. I am now in catastrophic prescription coverage with UHC.
I don't know what other info I might need to give. Just trying to find out my options now. This is really stressful.
