[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 553377, member: 1967"] My difficult child is not covered by insurance. She makes to much to qualify for SSI. However, I found a program that may include my difficult child. The Medically Needy Program is described as: [COLOR="#0000FF"] Medically needy individuals include individuals with disabilities or blindness, who would qualify for SSI, but have income or resources above the SSI limits set by their state.[/COLOR] My state is listed among the 34 states have have established this program. There is a spend down option that allows the individual to subtract medical expenses to bring down their countable income to below the medically needy level. Even her free mental health care from our county would be allowed to count as what it costs the county to provide that care. Other expenses that may be used include doctor bills, mental health bills, dental bills, prescription drugs, over the counter drugs, and optometry bills. Is anyone here familiar with this program? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
