Falling Through the Cracks
Emergency situations are hectic, and important details, sometimes even people, can fall through the cracks. Daniel, a 24-year-old uninsured young man, required emergency abdominal surgery at Huntington Health. He was rushed to the emergency room and taken directly to surgery before his insurance status could be identified. After a ten-day hospital stay, Daniel was shocked to receive a bill for $86,000!
Samantha, an employee at the Huntington Ambulatory Care Center, recognized how financially devastating this could be and immediately referred Daniel to Young & Healthy. Our Insurance Specialist determined Daniel’s eligibility and successfully enrolled him in Medi-Cal retroactively, reducing the cost of his medical care and hospital stay to $0.
Young & Healthy is here to step in during life’s most overwhelming moments to make sure that no one falls through the cracks.
