[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 59444, member: 3893"] In my state, you can get medical assistance regardless of income solely on the basis of a documented disability. Check first to see which diagnosis's are covered - I seem to recall some limits as to what they accept as a disability (ADHD covered but not asperger's?). You do not get any SSI money if you exceed the income limit but all medical expenses are covered 100% (including medications) as long as you stay within the program. The down side is the choices are usually pretty limited. M's pediatrician is in the program but unfortunately his psychiatrist and therapist are not. And medications are free even if prescribed by not-covered docs. It makes no sense but I'll take any help I can get. [/QUOTE]
