[QUOTE="OTE, post: 4269"] Katie beckett is a Medicaid waiver program. It provides specific services (depending on the type of waiver) for people who do not otherwise qualify for medicaid or for services that Medicaid doesn't cover eg Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (in some states). It's definitely something worth checking into. I'd go back to the Medicaid office that told you to put her on the program you have with the written univ plan info you have and the phone number of the person with that plan to call. Thus explaining to them that the school program doesn't provide the kind of services, specialists, whatever that your child needs. Try to get them to call the plan themselves to understand what the plan does and doesn't cover. At worst what you're asking them to do is to provide "secondary" insur, that is, that whatever services can be provided by the univ you will use and those that can't be provided you'll use the secondary insur. This is what happens with kids on SSI/ Medicaid or those adopted with special needs from the state. The parents must put the child on their employer's plan. But if that plan doesn't provide needed services then the Medicaid kicks in. [/QUOTE]
