[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 304307, member: 1233"] been there done that, are there again. Jess was essentially "fired" from her neurologist without any notice because he doesn't like our insurance. If she has medicaid she would be fine but she doesn't. We are trying another child neuro, but until this last year the old neuro was the ONLY child neuro in the STATE. Yes, we are backward here in Oklahoma. If the new neuro isn't good we will have to drop the insurance. husband was laid off so we may have medicaid in a month when his insurance ends. BUT Jess needs help yesterday, not in a few months. For years while husband was in grad school he earned just barely enough as a graduate instructor to qualify for medicaid. If he made $300 more per month (at first, a year later it was if he made $300 more per year) we would have had to pay for insurance. And the graduate student insurance would cover a wife but NO kids. So I did not work. I did a LOT of volunteer work simply because I would have gone bonkers without it. It IS frustrating, but the medicaid we had paid for everything 100%. It even covered the 4 months of inpatient psychiatric hospital treatment Wiz had. The ONLY thing it did not cover was the battery powered nebulizer thank you needed. They provided ones you could carry but still needed to plug in. He couldn't even go on most field trips without major asthma problems so my mom and dad spent $200 on the battery nebulizer. But $200 over 3 years of expensive medical problems was a pretty good deal, in my opinion. I hope you can work this out. [/QUOTE]
