Everyone on Medicaid has a caseworker who prepared your papers to receive your supplies in the first place. They keep a file on you, with your ID number etc, and comments from your doctors, documentation etc.
You should have a Medicaid emergency number to call when you need help. It should be on your ID card.The medical supply place probably has this number too. Often they do this service for you, so I would call them first. If they require documentation from your doctor, they often will get it for you. If they then tell you to do this yourself, then you can do that.

So if circumstances change and you need a bit more for your needs, this caseworker, social worker, whatever you want to call him/her will on your behalf increase your alotment of what you need. Just like your doctor can increase your drug quantities per month allowable. They do this all the time for people, because things change, health changes, life styles change, conditions change or whatever.

You just don't have to do without.

I wonder, if, I can ask,...........................................
 

:confused:would it be the same place, that, takes care of food stamps??
Because, I do get them.

Phyllis

I believe that the food stamps come from another government agency... Medicaid is typically run by your state govt. It could be that your State Medicaid arranged the food stamps. It is hard to say for sure on that since states vary. Do you live with someone who can help you with this?

Call the medical supply company that sends your supplies and ask them who to call, or if they will call on your behalf. Say you need 15% or 20% extra from what you are getting now. Tell them you are drinking more water in hot temperatures, etc. That is a good honest reason if they should ask.

The medical supply company said, they need a letter from my
Dr., which, she did write. But, they claim, they never go it.

Phyllis

Call the medical supply back and ask if they accept faxes.
Get that fax number. Then First thing Tues morning call your doctor and explain you have NO supplies for personal needs.
Say the supply place never received the doctor's letter and ask them to fax it, ASAP. They should do that for you. Ask them to fax the company supplying you with the new order. Call them back after lunch and see if it has been done. Keep on them.

Then when they say yes, then call the medical place and tell them you have NO supplies and NEED them desperately and please do the order now ASAP... lots of Pleases...etc.

Those patients using mail away services should check their medications and supplies once a week a head of time, so they don't run into holiday snags or shortages for some reason.
I know its tough, but that is the way it is these days. Lots of paperwork, lots of details, etc.

Mrs. D,................................................ .................
 

I can do the first part, *but*, saying, I'm out of supplies, completely,
I've tried, before. They *don't* care!!!:mad:
