Pediatric Private Duty Nursing in Central Arkansas

Tricare/dod they do make you fight for the care.I had to go to DC and tell my story now my son is grandfathered for the 24/7 but I worry they may stop care. He has a trach,gtube,oxygen just a start to his skilled nursing needs. There are several programs for special needs familys but the different regions bend to DOD and they are using the programs to expand services to some while limiting the too sick to get well group. My I ask what your sons condition is? Are you getting everything he needs? Did they force you to sign away your basic tricare benefits for the help you get? Ours was a horror story I fought hard for all military familys to get medically necessary doctor ordered care for all but Tricare continues to pick and choose and leave some out in the cold or shift their care to the better coverage of medicaid. Here are a few programs they have tryed. PFPWD,EFMP,ICMP,ICMP-PEC,CCTP,ABA demo,ECHO,EHCC and a couple of others I havent had a chance to research. I will keep your family in my thoughts.
