@mozingo27 Yes this is exactly what it is. They basically evaluate her every 6 months to check for any delays. If there’s concern they go to a specialist.

@maskirovka I just checked actually in my state babies born by 31 weeks are eligible for the program BUT, they have to be referred before 12 months so I think I’m out of luck now😭

@truthseeker70 The cut off apparently is 32 weeks. Mine was born 31+6. No, originally there was no concerns. I think about 3-6 months old there was concern with hypertonia. We went to PT and that was resolved. We then went back to nicu follow up and all was well no other concerns and on track...

@casillasjoseph1 Sorry to hear that! Glad your baby is doing well though. Nope, I’m in the northeast.

@cometa That’s overwhelming!

@ansonthms I think it’s an insurance issue. We have shitty insurance. I don’t think she qualified for early intervention.

@misseldiva Yeah we typically pay close to $9k a year in just medical coverage alone (no dental or vision that’s separate) 🥲. Family of 3. Our appointment is supposed to be tomorrow. Forgot about it until I saw they left me a voicemail. Still paying off the visit from February. It’s ridiculous.

@menorah Oh that’s good to know. Yes all of 2022 it was no cost because we obviously hit our deductible and out of pocket max with the NICU stay so we just went to all the appointments. Now 2023, I realised how much these appointments costed us.

@mozo41 Oh I see, that makes sense why others don’t know of the program. I feel as my Pediatrian would catch any delayed milestones, especially considering we’ve seen the nicu follow up A few times already. And yes I am concerned they will think I’m Ignoring them too.

@anissa16 A little Less then a month

@andrearay86 I’ve heard others mentioned birth to 3 but my peditrian never actually recommended it to us. Very odd! And yes, the US. Ugh.

@ellienora93 When I was leaving the NICU the doctor recommended going for follow ups to check for delays and milestones. But the past few we’ve been to everything has been on track.

@ellienora93 Hmm ok interesting

@raiders47 Yep, about $600 for OT/PT and about $600 for the doctor. $1200. For the evaluation only. And it was in February so my deductible and out of pocket max reset so we owed the full amount.

@noothername So as an infant there was concern with hypertonia. We went to PT for like 6 months and then we were cleared by PT in Jan. we had the NICU follow up on feb and all was well and everything was on track. But they recommended to come back to check if everything is still on track.

My LO is 19 months old. Born at 31 weeks. She’s gone 2-3 times to the NICU follow up. Last appointment cost $1200. She was evaluated as on track, and sees her pediatrician every 4ish months for physicals. I really can’t afford to pay $1200 again, I am still paying off that last Visit. Of...
