Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 , My step daughter was referred to Shriners Children's Hospital for physical therapy. Ironically, her therapy is covered by insurance, the reason for the referral was because they are exceptional in the therapy they provide. Shriners does provide services for children who are not covered by insurance. We did not end up taking her there simply because it was kinda far for her to go and there are excellent services available closer to home that our insurance covers. We are in the Chicago area but Shriners Hospitals are located in many major cities and provide services free of charge regardless of financial need. They have an excellent reputation. Here is a link to Shriners home page http://www.shrinershq.org/Hospitals/Main/ (and yes these services are, in part, " thanks to " the men who wear the funny little hats and drive the tiny go-carts in your community parades - God Love Um) Penny Rubalcaba - Step Mom to nela 16 YO (Unilateral PMG-PNH) Subject: insurance help To: polymicrogyria Date: Monday, October 13, 2008, 10:24 AM My insurance plan at work will change next year.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ethan was able to receive a medical card from the state to pay for his therapy. We did not qualify financially, but we applied for respite and because he qualified for needing special care, we were able to receive a medical card which we could then use for his therapy. The best part of the respite program for us was that we were able to keep our own babysitter, but now she is paid through a home health agency instead of out of our pocket. It has worked out great. We tried quite a few times to apply for Ethan's medical card and were denied over and over before one of our therapists told us how to get in through this back door.
