By skyforbes We applied for medicaid (denied) based solely on his income (he is able to work part-time at walmart pushing carts right now) He was enrolled in college, but right now we do not have the funds to re-enroll.
His diagnoses (we are still waiting for copy of medical records) Autism, ADHD and underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. He has experienced alot of Trauma as well, but this only came to light recently.
I'm most concerned with getting him to a regular therapist for his trauma. Likely returning to some of the medications he took throughout childhood as well for ADHD specifically.
Specific questions:
He was denied medicaid, would reapplying with his diasbility information help with that? I didn't help him fully with the application, but he said they didn't ask.
Is medicaid not even the right thing we should be applying for?
I also think once he has medical assistance he will be able to work more, if that makes sense (therapy and medication) is there a way to help medicaid understand that?
Obviously not sure what I should be doing, but I want to help him, any advice is greatly appreciated. Live in Nebraska if its relevant.
Thank you
Forgot to add, looking for a way to add him to my employer insurance as well, but haven't had luck figuring that out either. As he is not my bio child and not adopted (again he's 21).
