[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 552324"] Hi, I'm in another state, but this is how we got difficult child 1 into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). We are also poor and on food stamps, ssi, and medicaid. Here there is a county mental health provider and a 'state hospital' (really an Residential Treatment Center (RTC)). difficult child 1 was seeing the medicaid county mental health provider and they referred him to the state hospital. He was put on a waiting list and when his name came up to the top he was admitted. While on the waiting list we had people from county mental health in our home every day. We did have to pay a few hundred a month in child support to the state. Without medicaid paying for it there would have been no way we could've afforded it either. If you are on food stamps and get SSI you can probably get medicaid. You can get medicaid and be on other insurance at the same time. The providers just bill the other insurance first and then bill medicaid. I hope this information applies to your state as well. I don't know the FL medicaid system. [/QUOTE]
