Medicaid Snafu

[Guest guest]

My son w/Asperger's goes to ST and OT at our local hospital. The OT

today told me that Medicaid has not been paying on the bill from them

since Nov. '05. (Or at least paying sporadically.) It was suggested

that services may be suspended by the hospital b/c Medicaid is

dragging its feet on paying. Can they (the hospital) do that to us?

I also called Medicaid and spent an hour on the phone trying to

explain the situation and was told to submit the bills in question

that would go to a review board and take up to THIRTY DAYS to

process. I certainly don't want to pause therapy for a month! Any

advice/help/insight?
