[QUOTE="cadydid, post: 251583, member: 6608"] My difficult child has targeted case management and state medicaid that covers him as a secondary health insurance. He got it through an SED waiver. I am so glad I did it. The primary insurance doesn't cover everything, and what it doesn't, the medicaid does. His TCM is at the county mental health center where all of his care is managed through from his counselor to his psychiatrist for medication management. Often times, I would find myself making multiple calls to inform different people of the same thing there because there was no way to do it all in one call. With TCM, I call or e-mail his case manager and she spreads the word for me. It has been a real life saver over the last week when so much has happened. As for the custody and child support, I do not know what state you are in but for me, it wasn't an issue. (Ex hasnt seen him in 3 years and owes over $10,000 in child support) They didn't even ask about him thankfully. Have you checked into an SED waiver? If it's possible for you to get, that might help without fearing the involvement from DEX. Also, through an SED waiver, your income is not at issue. Once a year I have to fill out the paperwork for him to qualify for the medicaid, but it is based on his income not mine. [/QUOTE]
