I have a stupid question.
Since we are all traveling to specialists that live everywhere but where we live, has anyone found a way to get their travel expences covered? My disability only pays my bills and there is none left over for meds or travel and Ins. does not cover travel expences so I'm wondering if there is some magical trick anyone is useing?
A magical money tree perhaps?

Hi Kat,
I wished I knew of something, but right now I don't. Hopefully someone can answer this for you and see if there is any way to get travel expenses paid.
Take care,
Wendy

I don't know who would pay the medical expenses, but I'll tell you what I did to minimize my expenses for my trip to Phoenix to see Dr. Hibner and get my Kalinkin MRI. I'm sure you've heard that you can get a pretty deep discount on hotels when you negotiate/name your own price on Priceline. But some people don't like Priceline because they don't know which hotel they would get/how far it would be from where they want to go. I went to betterbidding.com and that forum helps you identify which hotel you would be getting and for what price others have gotten it for. So I got a room at the very nice Hyatt Regency for $47/night. Also, since I had to fly to another city to see my PM doctor at some point, I made the trip into a three-way flight and hit both cities, instead of two round-trip flights. I used the light rail system in Phoenix instead of renting a car or using cabs. Still, that was a $400 trip that I can't afford.
