Answer by oilfeild trash
dont put them in a group home leave them in ur home since they are a part of youre family my aunt and uncle put their daughter in one and she was beaten severly they brought her home and have never looked back. Leave them in youre home and love them having a special child is special belive it or not they do have feelings even if they can not express it

Answer by a_mom
Isn’t your child assigned a social service worker? My sister has Down’s Syndrome and shortly after she turned 19 or 20 the state began checking up on her every year. The worker will ask both my parents and my sister what they want. They always ask if she would like to move out. They will help find a suitable home for the young adult. I would ask other parents what the group homes are like. I have worked at some that are great and some that are horrible places. It all depends on the workers. Good luck I know this is a difficult decision.

Question by John: Does Medicare part B cover inpatient gambling addiction facilities?
Couldnt find the answer to this. Assuming the facility accepts Medicare, of course. I doubt I would have trouble getting it documented as “necessary” or whatever medicare would require. Also, what percentage if they do not cover it all. Facilities such as CORE, algamus, etc. Thank you!

Best answer:

Answer by Flower
Medicare Part B is for out-patient services. Part A is for in-patient services but gambling is not a medical conditon and would not be covered.

Answer by mbrcatz
Not exactly.

Medicare part A covers hospitalization in a regular or psychiatric hospital (note, there’s a lifetime maximum number of days covered). Medicare part B covers doctors services, 80% of the medicare rate.

If your “treatment center” is not a hospital, and the “counselors” are not Medicare providers, you’re not going to have any coverage at all.
