GT/TPN insurance.

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any input that is insured through govt civil service?

the navy's EFM Program just gave us a category I (four kids now GT fed,

one of them also on TPN and Mom GT) which does nothing to help us out.

My husband really wants to just get out now and take a well paying civil

service job. I am concerned about them paying for 4 Zevex pumps, the

bags, the Neocate and the over 100,000 a year for TPN. The insurance

costs for us can easily top half a million a year. WE make too much for

SSI and i have yet to get any info on the Virginia Technology ASsisted

children program, to say nothing of getting help for my feeding

supplies.

We need to make a decision soon. He is supposed to officially agree to

resign his comission BEFORE he looks for a job (though he is certain the

job is there anyway)..

Dear :

I don't know the answer and hate to even bring this up, but I think, and I

stress I think, that some insurance policies have a lifetime benefits cap.

The only reason I mention it is if the military insurance does not, you may

want to find out about other insurance.

Are the kids eligible for SSI disability? I know they toughened up the

requirements recently, but it might be worth try. Most lawyers will handle

that on a contingency basis, so other than costs, which are pretty minimal

in an SSD case, you don't have much risk. Your odds are much, much better

w/a lawyer than without. Might be worth a try, but again, a couple of

years ago they made it much harder for childen to get.

You might be eligible too.
