Get Mesothelioma Advice All of the following falls under the heading of “stuff for the lawyer to do” when you are sick and have been diagnosed with the cancer mesothelioma: Many current, promising mesothelioma treatments are classified by private and public (e.g. Medicare) insurance companies as "experimental" which means that you will have to pay in full. Private insurance payments will often be denied at first, resulting in a lengthy appeal, but you might need the surgery or other intervention now. That can mean laying out tens of thousands of dollars up front while that insurance appeal is pending. In addition, there are travel and hotel expenses if your town doesn’t offer one of the handful of established mesothelioma treatment providers that there are. If you are, or were, in the military and have your treatment through TRICARE and/or the VA, different issues come into play. If you are still of working age and you become disabled, you need to apply for Social Security Disability. If some or all of your asbestos exposure was in the military, you will need to apply for benefits under the service-related disability program. In some of the worst case scenarios, out of control medical bills, bankruptcy filings or asset transfers may need to be considered.
