I pulled this from my research and it provides a look into many ways that people can manage their healthcare costs. It provides a solid look at the many different options available and questions you may need to ask yourself to be able to financially handle dealing with a chronic illness like Kidney Disease.

Thanks for the cost article ! Im not there yet but who knows ???

Went to doc office last week and spoke to NP about a mole removal area taking a long time to heal on my arm. She ordered an a1c and results are i dont have diabetes or pre-.

I asked how about a gfr test to see how im doing with my diet. She said if i had the test that it would be self-pay since in feb my gfr was 58.

I knew this because shortly ... a few days to a couple weeks ive forgotten now ... before

that it was 40.

I said never mind. i wasnt feeling bad at that time with her tho have had some pain. I couldnt do anything about it anyway. I have a kidney doc appt in oct.

Just saying.
