If you’re suffering from diabetes or kidney disease, and you’re in a financial pinch, take a look at our listing of resources!
Hi, I’m Dr. Griffin Rodgers, bringing you Healthy Moments from the NIH. I’m the director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Getting treatment for diabetes or for permanent kidney failure is expensive, and many people need help paying those bills. If you’re eligible, there are a variety of programs that can help you.
Look at our clearinghouse publications on "Financial Help for Diabetes Care" and "Financial Help for Treatment of Kidney Failure." You’ll find descriptions and contact information for
- Medicare
- Medicaid
- The State Children’s Health Insurance Program
- Social Security Disability Insurance
- And programs that can assist with prescription drugs and medical supplies
And for more information, visit our website at NIDDK or yourdiabetesinfo.org or MyMajicDC.com . This is Dr. Griffin Rodgers. Join me next week for more Healthy Moments.
