Who is finically responsible when a school asks to you to seek outside help with a possible ADHD child? |
Issue Such as copays or when you exceed the number of visits allowed by your insurance company Best Tip The school is; under federal fair education for the disabled laws. Any test the school wants done is at thier expence, the federal government reimburses schools for title IX costs (eventually there is a 2 year lag.) If the school balks at paying GET A LAWYER! This is discrimination. Others First, look under the ADA Federal laws for education and ask why the school system is not providing for help. The school does not provide medication but there are counseling and other behavior techniques the school can use first. But for the outside physician who prescribes the medication, you are responsible for the cost of the meds and the doctor copays. First of all, the people in the school system are so quick to jump on the ADHD bandwagon. They've been doing it for over twenty years and it's getting old. I remember my teachers preaching to my mom about Ritalin from the time I was seven years old. I'm now twenty-nine. Have you already tried alternative routes? Is it severe ADHD? Sometimes many ADHD symptoms can be resolved through diet, activities and structure. Most ADHD kids are bored with what's going on in the class room. There isn't enough positive stimulus. As for your question (specifically), depending on your income, you may be able to qualify for additional medical assistance - even when you have insurance. well since it is a health problem, you are. Mental health insurance sucks. That and substance abuse which often go hand in hand. I have a teen daughter that I ended up with over 20K my insurance company would not cover. the parents |
