Finding the Money
|
||
|
Is the prospect of more than $100,000 in medical bills throwing you for a loop? Then you should read Diane Tolley's Finding the Money: A Guide to Paying Your Medical Bills. Drawing from her experience as an insurance salesperson, a fundraiser, and the mother of a BMT patient, Tolley offers a host of practical suggestions on how to assess what your transplant and after-care will cost, and how to track and pay for your bills. Although this book is easy to read, don't expect any easy answers. "As much as I would like to tell you there are organizations or even individuals that will hand you two or three hundred thousand dollars..., the reality is, this will just not happen," writes Tolley. Instead, Finding the Money walks you through the basics of organizing your medical records, dealing with insurance company personnel, and making sure you're not overcharged. It explains how to enlist family and friends to help raise funds, and provides a step-by-step guide on how to plan and execute fundraising events. It discusses the pros and cons of using professional fundraising organizations, and offers advice on how to handle funds so that donors are assured that the money is being used for legitimate medical needs. Perhaps most importantly, Finding the Money inspires hope when the crush of medical bills may seem overwhelming. Enriched with real life stories of families who succeeded in raising funds to cover their medical costs, Finding the Money documents fundraising strategies that have worked, and others that have not.
