If anyone remembers from my prior post here, I posted about my best friend potentially having breast cancer (I think I mentioned 2 others but I can't remember what they were). She went to her PCP today (she has to see them before she can get any screenings done) and they found a lump in one of her breasts. Because of this, she has to get blood work, a transvaginal ultrasound, and a chest X-ray.
We already exhausted all of the lower cost methods, and while I'm sure blood work won't be that bad, I know the X-ray is going to be a brutal bill (I'm not sure about the ultrasound)
As I edited into my last post, she won't be eligible for Medicaid because her dad (who makes $150k a year) claimed her on his taxes as a dependent so she's lumped into his household income.
What can be done to lower costs while not needing to wait a long time for any potential diagnosis/treatment?
