Is there any hope left when Ohio Medicaid denied you twice?

I have been turned down twice now by the Ohio Medicaid board. They say I'm too healthy> If,weighing 352lb.s,having high blood pressure,DVT and extreme pain and problems walking is healthy then those people need brain surgery! I need advice. I can't live like this. Is there any hope at all?

Have you tried your local vocational rehab. dept.? Do you qualify for disability?

I would advise getting tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, I would expect they would approve you. Dr. C

Dear Dr.Curry, Thank you for your response. I'm sorry it took me awhile to get back but,the depression I'm experiencing right now is overwhelming. Not only has Ohio Medicaid denied me twice but,now my surgeon has given me up as a patient because,I have no-way to pay for the surgery. I don't know where to go or,what to do. Please,any advice or suggestions would be truly appreciated. Thank You! Sincerely, Kelly Howes

Dear Kelly, I live fairly close to you in Byesville and would love to get together and give you some of my hints on getting the Ohio Medicaid approval. I got denied 2 times and then finally approved on the third try through. I would be very happy to help you face to face or on the phone with some tips that might help. If you want my number or you want to plan a working lunch send me an e mail and I would be more than happy to help you get approved. Lots of Love and hugs, Laura Please Please DONT GIVE UP!!! Keep the faith that it will happen for you.
