Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Judy, Have your daughter call the wellfare agency in DE. I'm not sure if it is like PA or not but she may qualify for Medical Assistance. Also have her call the Social Security Administration, She may be entitled to SSI. Now that she is over 18, She amy qualify for stuff that she didn't as a minor.... Re: HMO Hell--Military Style I too had problems with an HMO when my daughter was little, we could not go to a CF center and she spent about 3 years sick. It is so hard to deal with a sick child and fight the insurance companies at the same time. And then when she is well I don't want to think about calling about the bills. I used to just let them set till they went to collections because I was to tired to fight them. Now she is an adult (19) and she can't get any other coverage except ours. I have called every number I can find in Delaware and they always send me somewhere else, so I have given up. And now she has to do it all because of the new privacy act and she wont. I did turn in a Dr. to an ethic's committee and they dismissed him from the board he was on, don't know if it was me or others that also complained. And as for taking your own things to the hospital, my daughter takes her pillow, blanket, music,stuffed animals (can't sleep without Ben) and I and others bring her lunch and dinner everyday. The food in the hospital is not enough for her and not like I make for her, we always have a truckload to bring home but its worth it. She is happy and at peace during those 2 weeks. I hope that you find out something at the sleep clinic. judy > > > > ------------------------------------------- > The opinions and information exchanged on this list should IN NO WAY > be construed as medical advice. > > PLEASE CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE CHANGING ANY MEDICATIONS OR TREATMENTS. > > ------------------------------------ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 , The SSI people are only helpful if she is not working, and she does part time. So I don't know if they will still help some or not. I'll try again. thanks, judy Re: HMO Hell--Military Style I too had problems with an HMO when my daughter was little, we could not go to a CF center and she spent about 3 years sick.
