To List Serve members in Texas,
With respect to recent changes in Texas Medicaid policy concerning cranial
remolding orthoses for positional plagiocephaly, My state congressman's
Health and Human Services Secretary recently shared this with me:
If you are aware of specific cases where a child is not receiving the care
he or she needs because of state policy, please do encourage those
individuals to contact their state representative. If this is happening,
there are absolutely mechanisms in place to correct the situation, and in my
experience, the representatives here in Austin welcome the opportunity to
help constituents in need.
If your patients with plagiocephaly are having their CRO's denied by
Medicaid HMO's, please urge their families to contact their state
legislators.
