Emergency

Earlier today, I received a call from my brother saying that my dad was rushed to the emergency room because of a mild attack. To be honest with you, I've been preparing myself for this. I normally picture this scenario wherein my brother would text or call me up in the middle of the night saying something bad that happened to my papa. But I guess even if you prepare yourself for things like this, it would still shock you. I called the office and let them know what’s going on because I need to be absent. Me and hubby hurriedly rushed at Sampaloc Hospital, that is where they rushed him in. Besides the fact that it’s close to where they currently live…it’s also a public hospital. I know they don’t have the money to at least make a deposit. When I saw him the first time, I knew it’s the start of something really serious. He can’t speak and he can barely move. They cuffed his foot on his bed because he was behaving badly the night before. My little brother and his cousin are the ones who took care of him before we came. They said my papa was intoxicated the night before which maybe triggered all these. I texted Intellicare to inquire about the coverage. I have enrolled papa as my beneficiary for the health benefits we have at Convergys. Good thing they have a text hotline where you can send your inquiries through text and they would respond to it real time. They even called me up to make sure I know what the procedures would be. They said that we can avail of the emergency assistance as Intellicare would take care of the bill below P5,000. She also said that we can bring my papa to UST hospital as it is an accredited, however, she told me that if the diagnosis is that it is a pre existing condition, the charges for the confinement and doctor’s fee would not be covered. I began to worry. What if my paps situation is a pre-existing one? Where would I find the money to pay for all of these. I prayed to God and He immediately answered. Just after I inquired about the intellicare coverage, my brother told me that Papa is now able to talk and have already spoken with them. His wife also came over and I just left them with some money just in case they need to pay for any medicine or hospital fee. I am quite confident now that Papa will make it and that he would recover at no time. Thank you dear Jesus for helping him and for making him live longer. Hopefully I can be with my Papa for a very long time. Praise be to God.
