Great article by an awesome individual...

I was a feisty child with a competitive streak, wild imagination and a little purple wheelchair. Playing outside was daunting, scary and isolating.

Shame on . I have tried to accept UHC Medicaid but the rate they were willing to pay a small practice was far less than overhead. I am now out-of-network with UHC. I see many kids with disabilities at clinics held by their special schools. These kids are marginalized and often cannot get to hospitals for appointments and for Pediatric Physiatry, the wait for appointments is at least 6-9 months. The school clinics are often the only place they can get their medical care. Now, UHC has seen it fit to refuse to honor my prescriptions I write for these kids at their school clinics because. I am not in network with them. I am a credentialed Medicaid physician in NJ and I'm just not contracted with UHC's Medicaid HMO. We do not bill insurance for the visit. Now, they will not honor my prescription even though I am a board certified pediatric physiatrist, associate professor at NJ Medical School, and a NJ Medicaid credentialed physician. These kids cannot just get an appointment with an in-network UHC Medicaid HMO pediatric physiatrist. There are less than 10 of us in the entire state. This is just heartless and disgusting behavior by UHC and cannot be legal. These children and their families are suffering because of UHC's greed.

"Expanded awareness will be a major benefit, because right now, people don’t often think about cerebral palsy, and earlier intervention is really important,” said Deborah Bilder, an investigator at the University of Utah who’s part of the new effort. “By measuring prevalence, and doing a lot of outreach activities, we will be able to raise awareness about cerebral palsy to improve early cerebral palsy recognition and access to treatment.”

For the first time in over a decade, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention network that tracks the prevalence of autism is expanding to include another developmental disability.
