As of today, the 5th day of this treatment, the dcm has yet to consult me on the machine nor tell me if/when I should start this. Im going to inform her today (if I see her, grandma has been dropping her off and yesterdays pickup resulted in my DH taking the dcg to the car cause of our icy driveway so I didnt get to speak to the mom) that if still needs me to do this Ill need a doctors note with exact specifications of dosages and times as well as the doctors information. I will hand her an addendum to my contract with medication dosage fees (per dose) and tell her this will be a trial. If dcg fights this and it becomes too time consuming I will tell her she or someone else will have to come and administer the doses.
Since she doesnt seem too eager to get rolling with this Im not too eager to push the issue.
Might wanna read this before you charge med fee:
How does a childcare provider cover the costs of providing special services to a child with a disability?
Childcare providers may NOT charge parents of children with special needs additional fees to provide services required by the ADA. For example, if a center is asked to do simple procedures that are required by the ADA, like finger-prick blood glucose tests for children with diabetes, it cannot charge the child’s parents extra. (Of course, the parents must provide all appropriate testing equipment, training and special food necessary for the child). Instead, the provider must spread the cost across all families participating in the program. If the childcare provider is providing services beyond those required by ADA, like hiring licensed medical personnel to conduct complicated medical procedures, it may charge the child’s family.
