Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Thanks. That leaves us out. Pam funding MHMR is based on 2 things: 1. household income 2. No. of dependents in family If you are middle class and/or just have one child, it is very hard to get funding. It's always GOOD to go to MHMR and apply no matter what. Situations change.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Me too!!! Sometimes it feels like we're drowning. I believe income standards are set county to county (based on cost of living). It's totally worth it to call your local office and find out. funding MHMR is based on 2 things: 1. household income 2.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Thanks. I guess it is worth a try. It is hard to be in the middle...too " rich " for help and too " poor " to afford a lot of the therapies. If it weren't for insurance, wouldn't be getting any therapies at all, with the exception of the little bit of group speech and o.t. he gets at school.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 : I sympathize with how frustrating all of this is. There is a very helpful explanation of all of the different programs on the Parent to Parent of Georgia web site, that helped me at least try to figure out which program we might be eligible for. As far as I can tell, the only non-income based program is the Deeming Waiver ( Beckett) Program. It is a very long and frustrating process to apply for this also, but we finally managed to get approved for it. You apply through your county Medicaid office (usually run out of the Dept. of Family and Children Services). Good luck! Re: funding Good grief , I'm so sorry to hear that.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Thanks ! We do already have the deeming waiver. We were looking for something that might help with the ABA. He's got a great program going but it's a struggle for us to keep up. In a message dated 10/16/2004 1:10:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time, autism writes: :I sympathize with how frustrating all of this is.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 jeannie, Most hospital have different funds to help pay for hospital bills. There should be notices around your hospital. You will need to go to the billing dept. and you will also need copys of last years tax refund papers for them to copy top see if you are eligible. Joanne http://www.ct.gov/ohca/lib/ohca/publications/AGuidetoPayingYourHospitalBill-ENG.\ pdf Many nonprofit hospitals also have access to funds which they may use to provide financial assistance or even free care to needy patients. Information about these funds can be obtained from hospital business offices, most hospital discharge planners and social work staff. Applying for Financial Assistance To apply for financial assistance, you should express interest in this option to the hospital business office and cooperate with hospital staff assigned to this program. You will usually be encouraged to apply for General Assistance and/or Medicaid. These programs may, in fact, cover all or part of the treatment costs. If you do not qualify for these government programs, you may still be eligible to apply for financial assistance from the hospital. ____________________________________________________________ Click to get a free auto insurance quotes from top companies. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2241/fc/Ioyw6i4tyCCVziKyGXX7Knh3NBBpjYDqC\ 8EL8tOZ8dDxZ4YzwrIsJD/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
