Hi,

I don't know where you live. Here are some options, you may need to call around. If they can't help you, ask them to direct you to resources. Explain that you are disabled and need assistance.

1) senior centers may have health advisors
2) your local city or county should have a commission for senior services and a commission for the disabled
3) your existing health plan provider- I assume that you may be receiving health services either from a public health department or a private company. Or you indicated that you are on Medicare. So I don't know what your questions are. So, definitely call your current health plan group
4) your primary physician's office
5) your local council person's office -for resources.

Hope this helps
