Did you have to get special permission for Medicaid to cover your pump. Isn't each state different. Just like each state has different amounts of hours in self-directed care.
Just wondering? Mark is there any way for a exception, like you can do through Medicare and insurance if your doctor writes a letter of necessity. Just like I was told some states cover the PIE machine by the company. I don't know it's worth a try to contact Medicaid, what about Medicare? Just thinking of ideas that may be worthless. Dana that's a lie..... they covered mine...

I bought a safe but one of my keys was lost or so I thought it was and my aid seems to think my pain isn't as important as her addiction. I'm so f>&*ing mad because I have a uti and you all know how seriously painful they are and my meds came up missing a week after I filled them again this month. I'm really upset because this girl has been with me since I moved home 5 years ago and is the best help I've had but I can't take it no more, I'm in agony right now but what upsets me the most is how helpless I feel. It just pisses me off that a person who supposedly cares for me can take advantage of me being disabled just to get off and not give a shit that I'm in so much freakin pain. I just needed to vent to those who really care because you know how bad it hurts and I'm headin for a break down from feeling helpless. Mark Jackson
