[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 495327, member: 12227"] I am wondering what her pediatrician has had to say about her. They can be a big help in getting help. I am unsure of what insurance you have for her but I am goimg to assume it is private for them to make her leave the crisis facility because her covered time was up...grrrr. My boys' pedi has been on the ball since they were infants. Bio mom would take them and after a couple visits with the Dr on her own with the boys the Dr asked that I come into the exam room each and every visit. Munchausen by proxy...she was making up all kinds of stories of one of the boys being sick when they weren't. Pedi was behind me on getting custody, adopting the boys and Daniel going to residential. I live in FL and although I am disabled and both boys are disabled under SS guidelines they did not qualify for medicaid because of an anniity I receive from my last husband's job. I had them both under Healthy Kids ins that is FL's ins for them but under that David was put on Children's Mecial Services because his problems are lifelong. The ins Daniel was put on kept changing and then denying coverage on certain things. I got mad and contacted the Gov's office. Next thing I knew I got a call from the Agency for Health Care Administration. I told her what I had been going through with the insurance and she said that Daniel should have been on CMS the whole time and she changed his ins to CMS. CMS arranged for another program to be involved and right now Daniel has 60 covered days in residential. In the meantime application is being made for medically needy medicaid for continued care after the 60 days. I did not know that medically needy medicaid does not go by the parent's income but by the needs of the child. I really could go on and on but the basic thing is you have to fight the system as hard as you can if you want this child to grow up to be am adult that can have a normal life if possible. Bio mom's adoptive parents hid the fact that she was mentally ill from their small comminity because of embarassment. Poor girl never had a chance. Mental health issues are ones that many insurance companies don't even want to hear about but they need to because even those children that have not had problems in the past are developing problems because of stress in the home where parents are losing jobs. losing homes and unknowingly taking out their frustrations on their children. You have the choice of sitting there stressing about what to do or to get in the ring and start fighting for her rights. [/QUOTE]
