[tri-med] Re: medicaid denial of a sleep safe bed

Jude,

We tried and tried to get that bed for Hannah but the insurance company
called it a convenience/luxury item. Our med supplier ended up =
sumbitting a
request on her behalf to Variety Children's Charity.  About 2-3 weeks =
later
we got a call that her bed was in! It's a WONDERFUL bed!!!!!

aaa is kind of giving me the run around on not knowing how to resubmit =
to be
successful on how to get this bed for my daughter.  it seems it doesnt =
have
a code as it is not enlcosed it is just safer for my 63 lbs 5'2" tall =
almost
11 yr old daughter so she wont fall out of her bunk bed (set on the =
floor)
with small rails. www.sleepsafebed.com

she cant sit up yet but she rolls and spins around like crazy at nite.  =
i
never expected her to be able to roll over eaither so i am just trying =
to
anticiapate a bit.  she defintely doesnt need a bed with a net on the =
top
but that is the kind medicaid has a code for.

has anyone been successful with this?  can you let me know how? thanks =
jude,
mom to derek-21, kelsey-19 and kameron-10-full trisomy 18 (hanging out =
