Re: I made an appointment with Dr H

When I called medicaid about rejecting Madison's claims they said just keep

sending the bills back to us and the more you fight the better the result will

be. So keep pushing for that medicaid.

First Welcome. I am about 5-6 days behind on the site (maybe more). Try having

the pediatrician write a note to the insurance company stating that Dr. H is an

expert in this area and it is necessary. You never know it's worth the try.

Just a quick background on me. My daughter was diagnosed at 3 3/4 with

RSS by a genenticist. She was seen by an endo a few months after that who also

said RSS. A year later she was seen by Dr. H who said not RSS - growth

failure but doesn't know any reason why yet. She is currently I think 39/39.5

inches and about 35 pounds. She is 5 3/4 - will be 6 on Decembery 27.

Where are you from? I live in northern New Jersey.

There is the endo we see, it doesn't matter she knows more. We have

Medicaid for Maddison but I don't know about it yet. Also with the

medicaid it is the renewal process and they say they are getting very

tough. Does anyone know how to get her paid for seeing Dr H. Her

first visit is $650. Also some tips for making the trip easier and

cheaper. Hotel etc.

HI!!!

Sorry it's taken me a while to write back...I do think it's kind of funny...I

think there are two sissa's???I think I'll go by Missy Anne for lack of

confussion! hahaha.

Anyway, My son (RSS?, fundo, g-tube) is 27lbs. and 37 inches and 4.5

years old. We just got our apt with Dr. H for January 9th! Were so

excited...yet nervous as well. Right now I'm putting together a fund raiser

(Garage sale)to raise money for the trip out there....we're having it next

weekend wish us luck!!!!

I have to say, I have so many mixed feelings about the appt in general...I have

struggled with my son's " failure to thrive " and health issues for so long, yet,

because there are so many worse off than him, I feel like I constatnly ask

myself if I'm being the " Parinoid Mother " ?????

My family insists that I'm no t I think I'm just tired. I have had to do ALL

the leg work and I'm feeling a little burnt out, and I still have a long way to

go!

Anyway, sorry for my " pitty party attitude " Thank you for responding! It's

always nice to hear from others!!!

Hope all continues to get better for you and your family!
