Your Tips: How do you manage out-of-pocket healthcare costs?

Posted by Colleen Young, Connect Director @colleenyoung, Dec 8, 2021

There are costs to healthcare that may not be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or your insurance. These costs can be beyond a family's financial means. Sometimes people seek to raise funds, move locations, switch jobs, or apply for charitable aid.

What resources or steps have you taken to help cover out-of-pocket costs or to get coverage?

@lioness I use a homemade drop treatment that is a 50-50 mix of rubbing alcohol and cider vinegar. Three to 4 drops in each ear. Lay on your one side, to allow the drops to work their way into the ear canal that is "right side up" [tip your head if needed, you'll probably feel the drops go in]. Wait a few minutes, then repeat on other side. What this does is dry out the ear canal, and help change the acidity, resulting in fewer infections.

Hope this helps,
Ginger
