hi rich, i am a female crohn's pt!. for 28 yrs!. Most GI offices have forms you can fill out if you have no insurance!. Payment is based upon your yrly income where you'd be liable for 1/2, 1/4, or none of the bill!. You can also try clinics which are run by a Catholic hospital!. They have uncompensated care forms which you fill out and payment is based upon your income!.

The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America has a website you can go to for information!. They have a live chat and a hotline that is run by health care experts during the week as well as a forum where you can post questions to others like yourself!. Don't wait to get treated!. A flare is nothing to mess with esp!. if you are running to the bathroom a lot!.

Also, when you go to the GIs office, he can give you free samples of the newer meds out there or the drug companies can assist you with their programs for those who have no insurance!.

PS: if you go to the CCFA site, locate a local support chapter near you and attend a meeting!. You will be able to get more info as to which hospitals and MDs help out those like yourself and which ones to avoid when talking to other members!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
