[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 236458, member: 6546"] We are in limbo on that for the moment. The pediatrician referred her to the county's mental health center (who felt that difficult child didn't need any kind of treatment or therapy at all)...then the pediatrician referred her to the psychiatric hospital....who then referred her back to county. I have been asking whether any of the doctors did any kind of thorough evaluation at all on difficult child--and it sounds like none of them did. So I asked the therapist about how I would set up a neuropsychologist evaluation...and the answer was that they are not allowed to give me that sort of information and that I need to go back to the pediatrician. Meanwhile, Medicaid is implementing all kinds of cuts on mental health services starting Feb 1st--so county is every-which-way about what difficult child needs and whether it will be covered or whether they need to get a new 'diagnosis code' in order to continue weekly therapy under Medicaid's new rules. But it looks like I will have to go outside of county, anyway, in order to have her really evaluated. The closest children's hospital is about 50 miles away, but it is in the next state...and the Medicaid coverage does not always extend to out-of-state specialists. So--I am kind of stuck waiting to see how the new insurance coverage rules go so that I know where I can go with this next. [/QUOTE]
