[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 726435, member: 1963"] Has he looked into country mental health resources? In Northern WI, before my VA pension and later SSDI came in, i was able to get MH health care and basic medications through Oneida county MH services. I was limited in what medications I could get as I was getting samples, but could get a couple of choices of MS and mood stabilizers. Once my VA pension came through, VA medical ins, County MH accepted what they would pay for care, and what drugs I could get through VA medications by mail were free. The ones I couldn't were provided by the county, limited as mentioned above. Down here in Milwaukee County, I still use county services, and VA for my medications. Private psychiatrists don't take private ins, or if they do, don't take Medicare and VA. I can't afford to pay out of pocket for psychiatrist visits, even with my pensions. Have him check into county resources. by the way, as a completely indigent WI resident, I was unable to get medicaid because I was single and had no children. Funding was not available. [/QUOTE]
