I live in Michigan, and we have Childrens Special Health, that covers hospitalizations, factor, and supplies, with no cap.
I'm looking to moving somewhere possibly warmer in the future, and I'm curious about coverage in other states. I'm a very special, and severe case, and want to be sure I'll get the coverage that would keep me healthy.
If you care to share, that would be amazing.
I don't have hep-c but know of some people that does or did. They now have treatment for it.
Are there any older guys with haemophilia that are experiencing chronic pain in both elbows. Right hand small finger has pins and needles feeling?

Well this is a really long story but I am going to make it short. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC they will not cover my Factor for me to have on hand witch is kinda a big deal. Because I am having to miss work to go get my infusion. They are wanting me to pay a stupid amount of money every month to have it at home at witch point I could buy a new Ford F150 every month lol. But does any one have any suggestions how not to get the run around with them or what I should do
Check with your local Hemophilia Chapter for help with insurance issues.
I am looking for an oral surgeon familiar with Hemophilia in the Titusville/Orlando, Florida. I am a Hemophlia patient (Factor 11) def. and have a tendency to bleed alot.. My dentist said I would need a transfusion before, and one unit after the procedure. So we are talking about a two-three day hospital trip for me. So far, I have no recommendations for anyone close by. Not sure what to do, as the work needs to be done asap because of constant infections.
Any advise would be appreciated… read more
You absolutely need to contact the closest Hemophilia treatment center. I would not ever do oral surgery without the their involvement. I have had 3 surgeries all went well. I have Von Willebrands.
Looking for help with copay and supplement insurance similar to Aflac or etc.? Anyone have any suggestions out there? Thanks
I believe there is a hemophiliac organization in all states that can help with payments and other things
.Hi, My 17 yro. Severe A son, is determined to buy a motorcycle. He has written and explained a 3 page report to me and his dad the reasons why he should be allowed to get a motorcycle.

This would not happen right away, but probably within the next 6 to 8 mos
I am searching for help from the "older" more experienced people,-- who may… read more
I just joined this sight and I saw your post from over 2 years ago. Having had motorcycles since I was 10 made me curious of your outcome. I am Severe A also. Hope all is well. Glenn
I posted an in detail story about what’s happening, but in short. I need multiple surgeries and I am constantly being canceled by the oncologist for numerous reasons (not financial) for some ridiculous reasons such as dates, locations, etc. no referrals or rescheduling, no nothing, just cancels the surgery and surgeons eventually get annoyed and back out leaving me scavenging for other surgeons. Which most once they hear hemophilia refuse to do the surgery because apparently this is a common… read more
I use to have the same situation. Now I have them contact my hemotologist to set up a treatment plan together. Since I started this method. I haven't been rescheduled, denied, postponed, etc
I have von Willebrands disease. I really don’t know much about it. I was told its a relatively minor case but that’sall i know. I don’t know what to expect with this disease and have a lot of body pain and headaches. I’m not sure if any of this is from vwd or if it’smy other conditions.
I have VWD and have always been told it’s a Factor VIII deficiency.
