Re: reply to Mike re s Hopkins

[Guest guest]

I called them and they asked that I send in all of Broc's records, a picture

of Broc, a check for 150.00, a copy of our insurance card, and a short

summary of Broc's medical history. The neuro at Hopkins reviewed it and he

was accepted. Try calling Diane at . That's who I have spoken

to. Based on our conversations it didn't appear to me that us coming from

out of state was that uncommon.

Mike,

Thanks for answering so quickly! I hope I am doing this reply

correctly. I am just learning....s Hopkins told my son's doctor

that they would not accept out of state patients. Then I called

s Hopkins and was told the same thing. How did you get in?

They still do take out-of-state patients as far as I know. They do

not take international patients, nor will they take someone who has

started the diet at another center and now needs help fine-tuning.

Call Pillas and explain your situation. The only glitch we had

was that our insurance company wouldn't cover it - our docs fought

them hard, but in the end, we paid out of pocket to go to Hopkins.

The insurance company refused because there are 2 keto centers in our

state (Florida) - however, we chose to pay and go to Hopkins because

neither our neuros nor Hopkins approved the 2 centers here. It was

worth every penny - our daughter has been seizure-free for 2 1/2

years and is now officially weaned from the diet! I highly recommend

Hopkins - they are very strict and very precise, and the dietician

was trained by the original keto dietician from the Charlie

Foundation's video - Millicent .
