I got confirmation today from the nurse case manager that our CAP/C approval letter from the Department of Medical Assistance (DMA) had arrived in her office. Yippee! She still has to get a few things arranged with the Wake County Medicaid representative. And the Wake County Medicaid representative still has to get a letter from Disability Determination Services that says Oliver is disabled.
It's one hoop after another hoop after another hoop to jump through to get everything approved.
I spoke with the representative at Disability Determination Services and pointed out to him the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Types 0 and 1 are on Social Security's list of Compassionate Allowances. He either didn't know about the Compassionate Allowances or didn't care. Regardless, the Disability Determination Services doctor has to review Oliver's medical records to determine if he's disabled.
I'm still excited. One hoop down, who knows how many more to go!
