[QUOTE="slsh, post: 621185, member: 8"] LOL. Sorry - I'm really warped at this stage. This is Illinois, where there is no Katie Beckett waiver. Plus, he's 25 now, so technically is eligible for Medicaid, but IL Medicaid is not paying providers so providers don't accept it. I know Medicaid has a limit on the # of prescriptions they cover, either 3 or 4, which just blows my mind. How can you possibly say you will only cover X number of medications??? Boo is still eligible to be on husband's medical insurance because he won't be 26 until next Jan. What really irks me is they are going to pay, one way or the other - either for the rx or for the hospital bills. But if he does have breakthroughs, it puts him at serious risk of further neurologic damage or, heaven forbid, worse. Honestly, I don't understand how on earth insurance companies can refuse to pay for proven effective treatments. Like your husband's Coumadin... again, if they *don't* pay, the cost will ultimately be far higher in the long run. So utterly aggravating!!!!! [/QUOTE]
