Medicaid eligibility survey.

[Guest guest]

As a Georgia resident, every year we have to essentially re-document that our

son Jimmy still has spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy, which is quite an

asinine requirement.

I'm in the process of completing this annual task. It includes a medical

history, a daily care plan, a letter of medically necessity from his

pediatrician, and a psychological examination.

The whole thing has always seemed quite invasive and redundant and unnecessary.

Our son's condition is chronic and not going away. I've got expert witness

testimony from the state's expert witnesses to that effect. Why am I going

through this every year?

(On the plus side, I use the opportunity to document extensively all the illegal

activities of the Georgia Department of Community Health [DCH] and the Undersea

and Hyperbaric Medical Society. This documentation is automatically admissible

in any future court proceeding since DCH has already accepted it and DCH cannot

deny or prevent its admission.)

The psychological exam component was instituted maybe 20 years ago and is

probably a violation of the child's HIPPA rights these days.

I'm just curious what the requirements are for maintaining Medicaid eligibility

in other states.

Thanks.

, keep up your ceaseless and stellar efforts. There are many out

there you touch who go unnamed where your outreach, though apparently silent at

times, is improving the lives of many All of us must keep the struggle

going and your efforts are tops.

For instance my wife and I worked on an International Treaty at the United

Nations as AD Hoc NGO working group on a Convention for the Protection of

Rights and Dignity of People with Disabilities, for over 10 years before we

were able to present to UN members a request they Ratify the treaty. We

achieved ratification by the 100th Country last week. President Obama has

signed the Treaty where it now awaits Senate Ratification. Just an example how

one must not let a moment go by when it looks daunting.

Here is the Treaty which now gives a voice and oversight of neglect and or

abuse by Countries who ignore our voiceless ones.

We are off to Washington DC next seek where we will meet with each and

every Congressional office by appointment with our agenda's advocacy.
