Shana Metsch details her battles with Medicaid for a variety of items that her disabled daughter needs: nursing, equipment, and supplies.In this week’s Afterthoughts episode, I am joined by my friend and fellow medical mom, Shana. We first connected a little over a year ago when she offered her personal insight into the process of obtaining a ceiling track lift for our home. In Shana’s 15 years of providing in-home care to her daughter Hannah, she has fought and prevailed in a number of insurance battles, including the ceiling lift. Shana graciously offers us some extremely helpful information to ensure that families like our own are empowered to fight and prevail in similar battles with insurance/Medicaid.Be sure to visit our <a href="https://www.atypicaltruth.org/">Website</a> for transcription and our <a href="https://www.bonfire.com/store/atypical-truth/">Shop</a> for Atypical Truth swag!Music by<a href="https://www.amiina.com/"> amiina</a>Cover-art by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/littlebellin/">Kendall Bell</a>
