Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 That's wonderful news! How did you get assigned to a social worker? This is exactly what I, and probably a number of other members need. And good for you for speaking up!!! I hope you're able to get everything you need. Hugs, Dix My SW getting me help My NEW social worker came over and we were discussing my health and she offered to have my program through health and human services (Long Term Care Community Options Program) pay for me to go for massage and also to see someone whom she sees for meditation, stress management, biofeedback etc. for chronic pain.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 I did alot of complaining! I called the county supervisor in my area and he called the head of that dept. as I only knew who her supervisor was and he is lazy himself. I told the dept. head my complaints and in 2 days had a new worker. I am sure he was not too happy seeing my file so empty proving that she was not doing her job and getting paid for it. The county supervisor also happend to be someone whom I gew up in my hometown. Annette Dixie dix7chix@... How did you get assigned to a social worker?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Annette, What type of insurance do you have... Even with prescriptions, my health insurance and my workers compensation will not cover biofeedback, chiropractic, massage, aquatherapy, stresss management, and many other services... As always, check with your insurance before getting any therapy. I would hate for you to get all of this done, even with a prescription, and have your insurance say, sorry, we won't cover this...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yes! Any more, not only get insurance preauthorization of coverage but on expensive procedures, get advance payment as well. Seems things are getting worse along these lines! Ken - Colorado Springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 No my insurance does NOT cover any of these things. I am in a program covered by the state that my Social Worker fills out paper work. I am alloted so much money depending on how sick I am. I also get a caretaker provided for me through this funding which has nothing to do with insurance. It is through a Long Term Care Program that my state has. They buy me medical equipment that is not covered and things that are NOT covered by insurance. Annette drseuss8675 wrote: Annette, What type of insurance do you have...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Just knowing someone cares and is willing to help me really helps. Most professionals wil not go to bat for you and only care that they are getting paid and have what they need but she was a real person with feelings, not a robot.
