Hi CALS community.
I am new here. My mother is 58 with newly diagnosed bulbar onset ALS and even though my moms symptoms are not severe I moved back in with my parents to navigate this time.
*Hoping to learn which insurance companies cover the three Rs, and Nuedexta*
My mom has Kaiser in California but we are going to move to Nevada… both to get out of our two-story home and to be near more family.
My mom does not qualify for Medicaire regardless of diagnosis as she doesn’t reach the requirements for Social Security. She will have to remain in private insurance.
I have connected with the ALSA in NV and found a neurologist she will be seen by who accepts nearly all insurance. I am struggling to decide on one because I want to make sure her medicines will be covered and affordable.
Right now with Kaiser in CA, she has hit her deductible and OOP max, so all her prescriptions have been 100% covered these last few months which has been such a relief. One unfortunate thing is we have no DME coverage.
I think a bronze plan is going to be the best fit financially… but I’m not sure. I am looking at HealthPlan of Nevada by United, Anthem BCBS, Select Health l, and Ambetter from Silver Summit.
Open to feedback and suggestions. Thank you
