Will medicaid cover otoplasty surgery for a child 8 yrs old is it possible for Indian Health to contribute?

We Answered:

It is certainly worth a shot. Unfortunately I dont think anyone on yahoo answers can answer this question. Because for procedures such as these you often have to obtain pre approval on a case by case basis where they evaluate and determine how much they would pay. good luck i hope it all works out.

If a child is snatched and grabbed by Health and Human Services does anyone hear?

We Answered:

More often than not, when a child is placed in the care of Health and Human Services or the Department of Human Services (DHS) as we call it here, the abuse or neglect is so bad that the DHS had no other choice. Probably the child should have been removed long before s/he is. I have very little sympathy for parents/guardians who allow this to happen and think that they should be held criminally libel in most instances.

I am going for an interview with CAMHS (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services)?

We Answered:

Be prepared for general questions, like "what are your strengths?"
and also to answer scenarios... "what would you do if?"

Be able to talk a bit about your way of viewing people and mental illness. What is your view on treating with medication vs. therapy? What therapeutic modality do you use?

What kind of case management experience do you have? What experiences will benefit you in this work?

Usually there is a diversity question or ethics question.... "describe an experience in which you faced an ethical problem" or "what is your experience working with diverse populations?"

I need to know what health services can do for obese children?

We Answered:

In my own experience, its really best that you consult specialist for it. Trying out random remedy is risky.

Are county health and human social services primarily only for women, children and the elderly?

We Answered:

It's never a mistake to try. Whether you qualify depends on your county. Usually there are some public mental health programs. For some, you have to be on public assistance. It depends a lot on where you are. I think you are in CA because you reference a CA police code. Look for the number for mental health services in your county. If they say you don't qualify, ask for referrals to other low cost providers- they should have phone numbers.

Consider looking outside of public services, too. Often, clinics associated with universities will offer discounted/sliding scale services. Some non-profits also offer sliding scale fees. I worked for a CA non-profit in the high desert that offered services by intern therapists (Master's trained) for $1 a session.
