Kelly – We were foster parents in a major county in Tulsa for many years. And it is indeed a sad situation. The turn over rate on the social workers was incredible. We went through worker after worker after worker.

In MI I had a similar issue with Medicaid. We live in one county and were licensed in another. I tried to take my adopted children (adopted from foster care) to a psychiatrist in my county and was told he was listed under the other county for mental health services. I ended up paying what my primary ins. wasn’t paying just to keep him with the same doctor. I couldn’t change because I couldn’t find a doctor in the county he was listed under who was taking Medicaid patients – so screwed up. Keep us posted on these situations – I’d love to find out what the remedy is for MI especially!

That is beyond ridiculous. Contact Children’s Rights. They’ll get on it.

There should be one in Pennsylvania for Medicaid refusing to provide healthcare for foster children if they’re moved across county lines. Mmhmm. Ridiculous!
