I'm not really good about getting things done. I have some sort of strange blocks about forms and bills and the like.

The KeySpan called today requesting tribute with the tribute with the threat of discontinuing service. I have money in my bank account earmarked for them, I just hadn't sent it out. I ended up paying via check by phone, and the house_of_clocks will not be losing its gas service. I need to similarly placate Verizon at somepoint soon.

After talking to KeySpan, I decided to call MassHealth as I need to get my reenrollment straightened out. I knew that the forms they sent me in June were due sometime in late August, however I completely lost them. My therapist reminded me last Monday that I have a case manager with MassHealth and that it was their job to handle my reenrollment. She said I shouldn't be filling out the forms at all. Unfortunately the first thing I found out upon calling MassHealth was as a cost cutting measure they let all the case managers go. I was then informed that the forms need to be received by August 20^th, and that it will take them 3-5 days to get replacement forms to me. So I may experience a gap in my coverage. I don't know if I'm put on the waiting list if my coverage lapse, but if I do I may end up months without MassHealth. I do still have Medicare, but there are sizable co-pays on just about everything. I am just scraping by already and can't afford the co-pays, especially since I will also be having to pay the Medicare premium that MassHealth currently pays (around $60 a month). I would have to consider healthcare and emergency only thing. That would seal the deal on quitting therapy. I know I made my own bed with this one, but it sucks anyway.
