Mesothelioma: Government Assistance Consider applying for state or federal financial assistance to help pay your medical and living expenses while you're unable to work. "I'd look at the Social Security Disability Program that can come with Medicare coverage," says Tanis Hernandez, MSW, an outreach coordinator for the Center for Asbestos Related Disease in Libby, Mont. Disability payments and Medicare coverage can help pay for at least some of your expenses, and provide living expenses. You can apply for federal Social Security Disability payments through your local office, and if you're approved, you may also qualify for Medicare. Medicaid is a state financial assistance program for health care services, and you can see if you qualify through your state Medicaid office. Mesothelioma: Clinical Trials Clinical trials are another way to receive the best possible treatment for mesothelioma, while still managing the cost of your cancer care; they are often free of charge, and you'll have access to the newest treatment options in mesothelioma cancer care. "There are a lot of experimental treatments always evolving for mesothelioma," says Hernandez, so those cutting-edge treatments may be a good option.
