I was rushed for a hystorectomy in sept 06 and did not need chemo or other treatment but it is time for my 6 mth pap smear and i still owe my GYN for surgery in 06….i work but make very little..im scared to not get screened…..but i dont have the financial means..isnt there some type of help for those with histories of cancer?|||I can%26#039;t believe that your GYN won%26#039;t see you just because you owe them money. You should call their billing department and work out a payment plan so that you can be seen right away.
If that doesn%26#039;t work, you can contact your county%26#039;s department of social services. If you are low income and have large debt, they will get you in to see doctors. You must get screened.|||Yes, there is money available, contact your DHHR for a medicaid card it may be retroactive. And why aren%26#039;t you getting pap smears and everything woman done at the Planned Parenthood?? They will refer and it is free.
