[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't use Family Voices. You do not need to pay to get the Katie Beckett application completed. It is an easy process. DC Dept of Healthcare Finance can assist you - (202) 724-7491[/quote]

I'm the PP who also recommended Family Voices - something must've changed because we did not pay for any of their services when they helped us out so many years ago.

NP. We most definitely paid Family Voices to get the Katie Beckett application completed. It was $300 or more. Others may have had a good experience with Doreen but she went totally radio silent on us for a crucial period, and lied about when she filed with DHCF and came back to ask for updated documents because of that, which delayed the process again. This was just last year. She became extremely defensive and contradictory when we asked her about the steps she was taking. Since we had extensive notes of our calls with her and the emails, we recited back to her what she had told us before and caught her in lies. I accept that she probably set the template for what the doctor's letter required but our doctor seemed to be just fine writing it on her own. And BTW, unless you neurologist is DC Medicaid enrolled you will need another doctor who is to complete the letter of medical necessity. I think that was a new requirement under DHCF starting in 2016. The staff at DHCF are quite helpful - Tashia Perry and Gwen Bell.[/quote]

Hi, like you you, we had a horrible experience with Doreen. We paid her $300 and she also did the same thing- lie and make things up. I wouldn’t hear from her and then I would call to check in and she would happen to just complete the whatever it was that I was calling her about. She would promise to check in after the fact but nothing. This has b en going on after a year. Basically paid $300 for nothing. Whatever your do don’t use Doreen Hodges! [/quote]
