MIND- BLOWING!! NYC DOE refusing services to ALL Deaf kids!!

The DOE is REFUSING to provide services or Hearing Technology to ANY deaf kids not in public school, including kids with timely "June 1 letters". Deaf students can't follow along in class without this technology! 1/

[Chaya Raichik @ChayaRaichik]

2/ An audiologist I spoke to refused to even help me troubleshoot a Hearing Technology device over the phone!!

Amplify if you think its crazy the DOE is denying services to ALL Deaf kids!!

@NateSilver538 NY turned conservative in 2022 because there's about 1.4 million Jews just in NYC and when the State came out with "reforms" to Yeshiva education, there was a massive communal get out the vote. That's how Lawler got elected for example.

Read this: How an Orthodox Jewish Yeshiva student became a GI Joe to fight Nazis...

And ended up in one of the first units to land on Omaha Beach on D-Day.

He kept kosher and put on his Tefillin throughout, witnessing "open miracles"

Progress! NYS DOH called me to find out how they can help Medicaid/Medicare members get better access to Hearing Aid batteries!

Due process does work!

Now just need them to work out pharmacy dispensing with @Walgreens @riteaid and @cvspharmacy!

[Chaya Raichik @ChayaRaichik]

Wanna make more money?
@cvspharmacy @Walgreens @riteaid - who will be first to dispense in the pharmacy???

Hearing aid/cochlear batteries are now a covered NY Medicaid PHARMACY benefit! Thousands of deaf kids will thank you!

But the medical supply stores don't have them in stock! I called up NY Medicaid OHIP department and they said HA batteries are a pharmacy benefit and they will help the pharmacy process the claim. But Walgreens pharmacy Tech says they need permission from corporate. Can you help?

[Chaya Raichik @ChayaRaichik]

@WAGSocialCare
Hey Walgreens! You guys sell hearing aid batteries in your pharmacies! Ive been trying to help families get them processed through Medicaid pharmacy benefit but your pharmacy staff says they won't process it and they should go to a Medical Supply store. 1/
