[QUOTE="klmno, post: 172843, member: 3699"] dreamer- I have read a few posts about what you and your daughter are going through- it is horrific. Our whole medical system (doctors and insur) is a mess. I have been sitting here researching online. Our state doesn't have Katie Beckett or TEFRA (I just learned what that is). But, it does have a waiver program. I guess the states that use a waiver program can pick and choose who to give it to- no discrimination that way (LOL!). Anyway, in order to check into and apply for that waiver, youu have to go through your local Children Services Board (CSB) (Community Services Board) case manager. This must have been why the lady at the state mental health office kept telling me to call there and make sure I spoke with a Children Services Board (CSB) case manager and tell them my son had previously been in a psychiatric hospital, twice, and was currently in detention and is being treated for BiPolar (BP). Now, it makes sense. She also told me if no one called me back from there, (she gave me the direct number to the Children Services Board (CSB) manager or something), then call the state mental health office back and tell them. I think I'll do that!! :) Thank you for your help- especially when you are dealing with so many things in your own family right now... that means a lot to me. And I sincerely hope that someone can jerk those doctors into gear and help your daughter. [/QUOTE]
