A Good Laugh!


Someone loves having fun. Sadly, I still have to finish the taxes this weekend, and start down the road to getting Bo's medicaid renewed; which requires a lot of administrative back and forth.
For the blissfully ignorant, Medicaid is usually awarded based on strict income levels, or for the medically needy. The latter case is very rarely approved. But, as we know, Bo is a rare kind of case. So we will petition for that medically needy case. We need the approval to continue our private duty nursing (PDN) beyond August; this is covered by Medicaid, and not Michigan Children's Special Health Care (MCSHC) or our primary insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield. Although he will most likely get approved for renewal of his secondary insurance from MCSHC, that is entirely separate from Medicaid as far as the PDN is concerned.
