[QUOTE="Steely, post: 246445, member: 3301"] Right now Matt's placement wants to do a PetScan on him. The Dr has ordered this, but it will have to get done at another hospital. [I]In my experience[/I], it is really up to the Dr., and what they order or feel like the kids need. At a psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC), there is always a Dr, obviously, and the Dr usually is affiliated with a hospital, where they could do any testing the Dr thought necessary. If the Dr requests it, then medicaide would have to pay for it, is my understanding. I am not sure about group home payments and medicaide. That is really the type of place Matthew is in. So I bill the ins for all the psychiatric services given there - and then my parents pay the rest out of pocket. So I guess it would really depend on the court order, the place, medicaide, the home, etc. Is that clear as mud now?:ashamed: Sorry I am not more helpful. How are things progressing at the hospital? Is everyone still suggesting an Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? Did you visit them yet? Any progress on getting medicaide? HUGS!!!! Steely [/QUOTE]
