Which state?

Each state in the U.S. has its own medicaid program with its own

rules. Also, I think that all of the states have a backup program

for medically fragile children, with higher income guidelines than

medicaid, and which will pick up insurance copays, deductibles,

etc., as long as you go to doctors who participate in the program

(and who have assistants who can file the paperwork right!)

Val,

You can set up a " meet the doc " appointment to see if you are comfortable with

the Medicaid doc. if you are not you should be able to pick your own doc

through medicaid. They should provide a list of doctors who take their

insurance. If they do not have a list, you can call offices of docs in the area

and ask if they take patients on medicaid.

As for the GI doc, if they have one at CF clinic, I wouldn't think you need to

see one outside of there. Call Cf clinic and ask the nurse practitioner what

s/he thinks. We do not usually see any GI doc, not even at CF clinic. We only

saw her once, though I know that the CF doc has consulted her about 's

reflux issues.

Good luck,

Mom of , 5 with CF and 10 weeks along

PS My brigadeiro came out too runny, I'll have to try again!

insurance doubt

Hi everybody!!!

First of all I am so upset that my english brain is not working very

well...please understand all the silly mistakes I will make in this

post...

well....last week we got a bill from torin's ped for 206 dollars..I

was surprised coz the insurance have been paying 100% of our

bills... my husband said thet it is coz maybe we reached our well

patience visit limit, or something like that...the problem is thet

we were not counting on this bill...and money is short here...bla

bla bla...but that is not the reason of this post...we have

madicaid, but his ped don't get it....we are really satisfied w/ his

doc...but maybe we don't have any choice but go to the primary

doctor of the madicaid...we never went to this doctor...we just got

a letter with his name from medicaid...My first question, does

madicaid pay 100% of this primary doctor visit??

Second question, is it necessary a GI doctor when they have one at

the CF Clinic? I mean, torin has a GI doctor( don't accept medicaid

either) who visit him at the NICU and we have been seen him after

then...but the last 2 appointments he was not there and another doc

saw torin....I really don't think this doctor makes any difference

to anything and she used to work at the CF clinic before. I am

thinking about cancel the visit to the GI doctor ..what do u think???

Should have been a law to avoid new bills at christmas time.... :)

Does anyone know anything about " Children's medical service " from

the health department??

love
