Hi! I was just wondering how long you guys have been homeschooling. We also

homeschool and this is our 4th year. So far it's really going well but this is

my first year homeschooling both of my little ones. (grades 3 and K).

Hello Again All,

I posted here about a week ago in reference to Medicaid not wanting

to cover the cost of my daughter- Elisabeth's enzymes- Ultrase MT12.

The doctor did send a note to the pharmacist, who in turn sent it to

Medicaid stating NO Substitutions!!!. Medicaid hehawed around but

finally agreed to cover the cost of the non- generic enzymes.

Soooo we are happy that is taken care of. Its funny after this

battle began- I was reading over some of the literature we had picked

up at the CF conference we attended a couple of months ago at our

Chldren's Hospital here. ( you can never read all the stff given to

you there in one day : ) ) anyway....included was a reprint from

an article from March 2001 Retail Pharmacy Magazine- The article was

entitled " Dispense With Caution " - and begin by saying- Pharmacists

who switch Cystic Fibrosis Patients to generic pancreactic enzymes

may be violating state formulatory regualtions- and endangering

patients.- ......It was a VERY good article- citing examples of

chidren who had failed to thrive using the generic versions and the

battles of some of the familes with insurance companies and Medicaid-

some having a much tougher time then I just had getting what was

right for their child. Anyone having this problem in the future

should get a copy of this article and take it to their pharmacist and

insurance company, medicaid office, and make them read it. I should

have read it just a few days sooner LOL. : ) Thanks all again for

your support.
