[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 325631, member: 1169"] We had the exact same thing happen. Tigger finally had a good therapist. Due to Medicaid, we are stuck with whomever the County Mental Health assigns to us. We have been through some horrible tdocs with them and some that are simply incompetent. This one was great. They HAVE NOT PAID HER for seeing patients for over 4 months. She finally couldn't live on the part-time pay they were giving her for giving assessments. So she got a job 20 miles away and got permission from her new boss to see any of her boys (she sees 30) as pro bono because the new office doesn't do medicaid. After all of this, the COUNTY mental health invoked some line in her contract that says she can't see any of these 30 boys at her new office. Course, the county mental health has a 4-6 months WAITING LIST for kids that need services; 1 hour appointments are rare and some therapist appointment are as short as 20 minutes. It makes no sense but there it is. Sorry to add my vent to your vent ;) but I wanted you to know you are not alone in your frustration over the craziness of the system. [/QUOTE]
