Sara, I don't know if Medicare is the same as medical assistance. We

have been seeing Dr. Capone for years (since Maddie was 2), and have never

gotten insurance of MA to pay. MA says it won't pay out of state, and my

insurance won't pay saying I can get the same service here in Philly. With

CHOP and their DS facilities in recent years, I can get something close for

sure. But I trust more than anyone, and so I pay out of pocket....he's

been with us through the thick and thin of it.

Meidcare is FEDERAL - thus ELie can now pick his own dr's. Plus he has

Tricare for life to pick up anything that Medicare won't pay. My bigger

question - which I will call later and ask is if they will see adults.

Just because medicare is federal does not mean that every doctor or practice

accepts it. Medicaid is also federally funded and not every doctor or

provider accepts that either.

Medical assistance paid when we had to go out of state for 's

heart surgery when he was 8. We had to go through prior auth and the

whole red tape. Of course the anesthesiologist was never prior

authorized and didn't accept out of state MA even though I gave them

the person that they could go through to get paid. We got harrassed

by them for a few years. I told them to go ahead and report him to

the credit agencies.
