This past week we had the electric go out. It was expected to be as much as 9 days till it was turned back on. I've only been a caregiver for 2 months. He also is an amputee with Alz/Dementia. Well our oxygen company says they will only give us 2 (10hr) tanks. After that runs out to take him to the ER! Of course I made several other call to get him help including the Electric Co. & VA. all with no help. Saying to take him to the ER. Ok. of course, we would. But her is my issue. Medicare has to pay 80% of an ER visit for possibly days to weeks maybe a few time a year for each patient. While they could just supply a small generator or battery that can be charged at a fire house or EMT personnel or the like. This would same Millions! Both is $ and deaths due to just being in the hospital (which is one of the leading causes of death!) Does anyone have any ideas or how to get help to get financial help?
