I don't think they can deny your son with perfectly good, non-Medicaid coverage

services, unless he goes in there with no shirt and no shoes! (or somehow else

breaches office policy) In other words, once you have established that he will

continue to be a patient in good standing, it would be discriminatory...

Well alrighty then indeed! Dang!

Thankfully I can say we've never had an issue with Evan's Medicaid coverage. To

be

fair, we live in a retirement town, and I guess if they accept Medicare they

have to

accept Medicaid? I seriously have not had a letter or phone call telling me

there was

any kind of problem or a claim was denied, which I gather is unusual.

Good luck Mark...there are good doctors out there who'll take good care of the

kids in

spite of the system...

Love,

Diane.
