My son was diagnosed with autism, and we're having a difficult time finding an ABA therapy place that accepts Medicaid .

Hey everyone, The end of January I had my son evaluated at a place called Action center and the report was sent to his pediatrician and he was diagnosed with Autism mild to moderate. His pediatrician had 2 referrals sent to two different ABA therapy centers and they both don't accept superior health plan. I've contacted a lot of places and so many don't accept Medicaid and the one i found that does, isn't accepting the report from action behavior, they want a report from his pediactrion. I've told her this and she ignores that and last week asked her if she can have her referral dept find a center that accepts his insurance. Nothing was sent, I contacted her twice by text because she told me to text whenever and she doesn't respond . I'm getting frustrated now and even when I spoke to her in person last two times about this, it's like she just wants to rush us out. I'm thinking about switching to a different pediatrician. Has anyone else gone through anything similar ? Thanks for taking the time to read if you did 🫶🏻

I’d definitely switch pediatrician or complain in person to whoever is head of the practice or administration staff. Their inability to take action is harming your child’s development. Keep advocating for your child. Text this doctor everyday if you have to. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Hoping this gets resolved for you asap!

@LaToya thank you!

@Marissa thank you , I appreciate this!

@Jerica You're welcome. They take Superior and I agree with Marissa about switching doctors so your child's care isn't delayed.

@Marissa I feel like I've been so patient and i can't believe she hasn't been helpful like I thought she'd be. I'm going to reach out again and if she doesn't get back to me by the end of the week, I'm switching to a new pediatrician. Thank you !!đź’•

@LaToya thank you đź’•đź’•, I think that's what I'm going to have to do if anything !
