Hello All, I have a question that I was wondering if anyone here could answer?
I have an adult age dd that needs adult diapers, and in order to get these I have to have a home health care provider come out to my home, every other month. I feel this is a huge waste, she comes out and takes her blood pressure and her temp. and ask the same few questions and then leaves, not really even worth the time or gas she spends to come all the way over to my home, plus we feel it's so inconvience for us as well, we never know what day she will pop up on, of course she does call first but what's an hour notice to get an unhealthy person ready for a visit.
My question is, in order to receive just the adult diapers do I have to have a home health care provider involved? Can't I just get an order from her doctor and let that be that? We live in NC, so does anyone know the medicaid rules here?
I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone and I have left a message with her doctor but it looks as if it might have gotten lost in the shuffle, and natually I don't want to ask the lady that comes out to my home, I don't want her to take it personally.
But honestly I feel bullyed by these people that comes out to our home and feel they can show up whenever and if they call and I say" not today", they tell me "ok I will just write it up"...what the heck is that, I feel like I'm in first grade.
TIA
