You can ONLY go to doctors on the plan, so if there isn't someone doing DAN stuff, chelation, etc. that is a medicaid dr. (I have never seen one that IS!) that is not covered at all. >> In Missouri, I have gotten a referral for everything I have requested, you can always request your DAN doctor to accept Medicaid. I don't think that everything is automatically covered, you have to ask, but as far as a sleep-awake eeg, medication, regular allergy testing, all the blood work, urine work, etc. it is covered- As well as Speech, OT and even diapers if your child needs them due to the disability. Some insurers out there cover NOTHING to do with Autism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I wasn't charged, I was never a patient....<<<< Actually that is not true! Medical Records and Financial records are considered separate in the world of medical malpractice. Connected but not one in the same. Better than that If you can prove that you were in the office by someone who took you, your PDA, someone you told you were going, a med bottle, lab results or a parking ticket or something like that you WERE there and now it is in the doctors ball park to explain why there are no records for that day. It can get very VERY nasty in the world of law suits but it is key to remember that it will always be your word against the doctor. The doctor is ahead right out of the gate (something about creditability issues) but if you can have your word backed up you are ahead.at least for the moment.
