Case manager update #2

Got another call from the insurance co today -- they told us that they had been meeting to discuss our case and that they have to gather some more information on NJ Medicaid before they can proceed. (If you recall Mom had received a call from a social worker and really just told her that we had fully investigated Medicaid and had determined that it would not meet our needs.)

Now they tell us they need to check out the Medicaid benefits themselves...mom thinks what the hear will sound more optimistic then it really is (meaning that they will say that they will provide 16 hours coverage, but we believe that the rates for that coverage are sub-par and that it would be very difficult to get nurses to work for those amounts.

Anyway, they said that they now plan to provide an answer to us on the week of April 19th :(. That is really starting to push the envelope on when we need to know by in order to make a move before June 30 if necessary. So what do we do with this?

In effect we are still in the WAIT MODE, but in the mean time we will begin to take non-commital steps such as the job interview (my travel is set for Tuesday AM - interview on Tuesday PM - return Wed and maybe getting rid of more junk.
