[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 645650, member: 1233"] None of us are experts, of course. And of course you should take what helps you and ignore the rest - NONE of us will be upset if you ignore our advice. We know you need to do what you need to do. Do not agree to take the $$ responsibility for anything. If they come to talk to you about it, tell them you are too tired/stressed to discuss it or tell them that HIPPA means it isn't something that they can discuss with you. There has to be an up side to HIPPA for parents, Know what I mean?? I know that here they have told me that it prevents them from discussing J's bills with me even though I pay them all. She has to have it on record that they can talk to me first. That may be just here though. Given the major and traumatic nature of this, the hospital can and should negotiate the medicaid paperwork fairly easily. They are specialists in this and you should take advantage of this. Given that difficult child won't be working, he will have no income and medicaid should be fairly easy to get. It should also pay for everything including rides to appointments. Here it provides a van to shuttle people to appointments even ones with specialists an hour away. The only time it didn't provide a ride was when J had to go to a hospital in Dallas for a week, but they paid mileage for it. this was back when husband was out of work and we had it for the kids. Generally if there is a medicaid copay it is very low, $2 or $3, so take advantage of letting the hospital staff handle the paperwork and let medicaid cover the medical bills. That is what it is there for. difficult child is a adult and he needs to have to deal with all of the fallout from his bad choices. I hope you are taking care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
