We have our appointment...and another question

[Guest guest]

Hi guys - just wanted to give an update. We finally have Brady

scheduled for his final diagnostic with the autism specialist. I have

been waiting for insurance through the state. Here's the deal:

I have insurance through work, and only my husband and myself are on

the policy. We both have meds to take, and it's cheaper (at 550.00

per month) to pay for the insurance than to pay for the meds. I took

the kids off of my medical insurance once I knew that we would qualify

for our state health insurance plan. So, they have been off since

last July (it's 1100/month for a family of 5 through my work)....and

the only major event was a broken arm (which ironically happened 2

weeks after I took them off...and the kid's never been sick a day in

his life). Anyways, we have been going back and forth with the state,

and I am a little bit worried that we aren't going to get approved.

My income fluctuates because i am 100% commission. It just so

happened that my last couple of checks at the end of last year were

pretty decent/above average. But, my question is (and the reason that

I ask this is because one of my customers works for a major insurance

company)...ARE there resources out there to help cover the cost of

medications...evaluation (which is 300.00 + just for that)...just

INCASE we don't get approved for some reason? Because Brayden has

this disorder? What are your thoughts on this? It scares me to death

the kinds of charges that we may face throughout this....and we really

can't afford 1100/month for CRAPPY insurance...horrible.

Thanks!
