RE: Keto diet via g-tube and Medicaid waivers

[Guest guest]

We live in TX and are currently on one of the HMO Medicaid's, Amerigroup.

Apparently medical issues doesn't make a difference, it's just financial

qualifications. I've heard others talk about waivers in other states, does

anyone know if that is available in TX? I asked the person at the TX Dept

of Human Svcs that I spoke to this morning, and he either didn't know, or it

doesn't apply.

Thanks

What kind of medicaid were you on? You should be able to apply for

disability medicaid for your son. In GA it is called a deeming waiver. There

are no financial guidlines so much as medical criteria.

Keto diet via G-tube.... help

My son recieved his mic-key button and started the keto diet in July

of this year. He is now 22 mths old. Our insurance has denied his

RCF formula and I'm blue in the face fighting with them over it. We

also got Medicaid as a secondary ins. in July. They have been

paying for the RCF. We just found out that we are no longer

eligible for Medicaid after 12/31. We can't afford the RCF as we

are already struggling.

My question: Are there other kids who are strictly tube fed that

use anything other than the RCF while on the keto diet? Can baby

food and cream or anything else be combined for feedings? Is this

hard?

Thanks for any suggestions - I really need them.

The disability medicaids are unfortunately not Federal. The best place to find

out about your state is through your service coordinator if your child is in an

early intervention program or your child's doctors. Good Luck!

Do you have a social worker? I would try your hospital and asking for

the social workers. I too was denied for medicade by there was like you

mentioned a waiver program that did not take income into consideration

but there was a waiting list. It covered everything the insurance did

not, like nursing care at home for example, or the RCF. The social

workers are usually up on the different programs for there state. If

you don't get the right answer from one worker, I would ask for

antother.

Where in Texas do you live? We also live in Texas. As

far as I know you have to qualify for SSI and then you

can get a wavier. do you get ECI or Wic? I will ask

our ECI case manager about any waivers, if you dont

get those services.
