My dad had bladder cancer, it was discovered in May, he has no insurance. The cancer doctor he was seeing will not see him unless he pays $200 up front and each visit. He can't afford that, is there some organization he can contact to help him? He is in Tucson, AZ
--------------------
Most large hospitals have financial counselors who can assist patients in organizing resources to pay for treatment. They can assess whether your Dad may qualify for Medicaid or another government managed program and direct him with his application. Talk to the hospital where your Dad was going to receive treatment. Your state's Department of Health is another good resource. Check their website to see what insurance or payment subsidy programs they may have. The American Cancer Society maintains a comprehensive database of resources and may be able to give you a referral. Contact them at 1-800-ACS-2345. Best wishes for a good outcome.
