If you are open to other psychologist I can tell you that my 3 year old was diagnosed ASD by Dr. Serena Bloomfield, she is in Jacksonville and accepts Medicaid. We waited less than a month to see her. We also had an evaluation by Dr. Cato Jackson who is a Neuro Psychologist at Nemours shortly after he turned two years old, she also accepts Medicaid.
I left in December 2011 so I am not sure what they do know but Medicaid did not help us much with services they just paid for prescriptions and doctor visits. If you have to go to court it is going to cost you s lawyer and it is going to take time. There have been changes to Medicaid recently but you would have to check with them to see what they will cover.
Yes.
Is psychiatrist evaluation acceptable diagnosis
