Default I have no insurance as of 6-20-09

My insurance expired on my 19th birthday...and I was diagnosed with PCOS a little over a year ago...I am worried because my GYN put me on the Depo shot to help with my PCOS which is costly both for the appointment to get the shot and the shot itself seeing as my "job" gives me like 0 hours...so I was wondering if there is a Doctor in the Columbus, Ohio area that would see me for little or no cost until I find a job that will hire me and actually let me make money. I am not sure if I would qualify for state help like medicare or anything like that...so if anyone of you out there would happen to have any advice on this I'd greatly appreciate it!! =]

Also be careful about having a lapse in coverage with PCOS on your medical records. It can make getting new health insurance very tricky.

I'm not sure what the cobra rules are for you, or if you can do a temporary coverage with a local company, but just be armed with the info...

Call your local hospitals and see if they have a nurse online program where you can talk to the nurses about medical questions and doctor referrals. There may be a community care program that you could sign up for. Sometimes there are free clinics in the area, check with them and see if they know. There are options for you, you just need to talk to the right person to steer you in the right direction Good luck, I know the feeling from the past!
