Re: Pull-ups co-op.... (off topic)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I have to tell you that when it comes to Medicaid, my son was qualified

regardless of our income. We are not " rich " nor " poor. My husband has a

decent job, and we are grateful for that. In other words, it has nothing to

do with income. My son was qualified because of his ASD diagnosis.

I know first hand how much it costs for all these pullups. We use up to 2-3

packages per week. Furthermore, I know how much it costs to raise a son

with all the costs of the biomedical interventions of which the insurance

does not cover and the behavioral therapy needed and all the educational

materials i spend since I homeschool him. Not counting the special diet he

is on and all the other gadgets he needs.

I know the system is broken and the wait is long, but i can not condone

cheating the system to get what we want. If everyone does this then system

will eventually " break " and fall apart. Instead, we should work on

improving the system to be more swift, fair and comprehensive.

Everyone whose child is medicaid-eligible get as many as you can - and share the

extra's you don't need with those of us too " rich " for medicaid, but yet too

" poor " to afford that huge weekly expense on our own....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Heh well I wasnt going to say it for fear someone decide that I was trying to

commit medicaid fraud heh but yea that was kinda what I was thinking when I

asked if there was a limit.

So while Im dreaming big ....anyone know how to get medicaide or something

else to pay for a carseat for my almost 5 year old who is to big for his current

5pt restraint yet I cannot put him in a booster because he gets right out of it.

Ever had an almost 50lb kid come plop on your lap while driving down the dallas

freeway??

If you are receiving Medicaid already you do not need to qualify for the

CLASS program. You need to have your doctor write out a prescription for

diapers, and then you should be able to easily find a company that will

handle it--your doctor may even be able to tell you one they use with other

patients in your area.

Then the NEXT thing I would do, is write a letter to your state senator and

state legislator complaining that your Medicaid case manager did not give

you the proper information to obtain services that your son needs and this

is why parents need to be able to choose who gives them case managment

services.

Last legislative session, the legislature decided that they didn't want to

pay for multiple case managers, so anyone on Medicaid should be able to have

and use only the Medicaid case managers. The problem is that most of the

time, these case managers don't give out accurate information. I would

strongly urge you to document this and send a copy to your local Medicaid

office. You should have known about this.

Hi, Im sorry I dont actually know anything about the CLASS program but if you

are already recieving medicaid then like cynthia said you just need a

prescription for your doc. I just went through JMAR incontinence supplies

....which he said that once he got approval he could send diapers or pull-ups and

wipes. Im not sure of the brand but heh we are so poor right I could care less

as long as the work They do the app over the internet or phone and fax your

doc for a signature then get medicaids approval.
