Re: loosing insurance dont know what to do

Contact your school district and ask them to help you figure

out how to obtain health insurance for your child. Our school each fall sends us

a form asking if the child has insurance and if not how

to option in (NJ).

Have you tried applying for social security for him, the income limit

is much higher? If he qualifies for disability but but social

security (b/c of income) you can try looking into what texas has for

tefra or katie becket waivers, they are medacaid for disabled but no

income limits but they have to meet an institutionalized level of care

(not sure how severe your son is but worth a shot). If you apply for

social security and qualify as disabled but are denied based on income

you can then use that to apply for the waiver as you have to go

through that anyway for the waiver. Ie i knew we made too much so

just applied for the waiver so they sent my stuff to disability for

qualification and i have to wait on that. My sister didnt know she

made too much though so applied for social security (hers is not for

an asd, her son has very severe food allergies that can also trigger

his rare bronchial disease that i cant remember the name of, so he

cant even go to a daycare easily). When she was denied based on

income they told her to just take her denial (you have to be denied

for income to apply for the waiver) and his disability status in to

apply for the waiver as it is 2 less steps they will have to go

through.

basically i would try social security 1st

Found the following information about affording medicine at

the ocd foundation. May be of use to you.

What if I Can't Afford My Medicine?

Drug companies give doctors free samples of some

medicines. Doctors give these samples to patients who cannot afford the

cost of the medicines.

Most drug companies also have programs that help

patients get these and other medicines free or at a reduced cost. For
