We found out yesterday that due to insurance we have to stop
ABA . Not only
that but they are telling us we owe roughly $16,000 for the last six months.
The money is the least of my problems. ABA
has taken Robbie so far. His Sunday School teachers who only see him every few
months just can’t quit raving over what a different kid he is. He has come so
far, but has so far to go. It is breaking my heart! Several things will be
taking place at this point.
1. I will be working very hard to take over the ABA therapy to the best
of my abilities. I’ve been trained for 6 months but don’t know what to do once
he has mastered what he is working on now. And it’s very hard to stay that
disciplined without some sort of accountability but I must.
2. We will be getting in touch with the original ABA consultant that we had
last year about this time. We are hoping that she will be able to come once a
month or at least every 6 weeks to give me direction on working with him.
3. We will be fighting the insurance company on paying the
money. Their reason for not covering it is that it is in-home verses in-clinic.
According to Interventions Unlimited (the company we get ABA through) the insurance is billed the same
regardless so there is no reason for them not to pay.
4. We will be looking for new insurance.
Robbie loves Amy and will definitely miss her. He will ask
for her and not understand why she is no longer coming over. Poor kid.
Another thing in need of prayer is that we will be looking
into having his tonsils removed. So just prayer in general for that process.
I have confidence that God can use this for good but am well
aware we have a lot of work to do. Every time I think about his progress
stalling I feel sick. All my complaints of our time not being our own and
begrudging so many aspects of ABA
I hate insurance so much - and even more so now. We're praying you through this. :(
