The <strong>Directory</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Individuals</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Spina</strong> <strong>Bifida</strong> and Related Disorders is published by the<br />

Chesapeake-Potomac <strong>Spina</strong> <strong>Bifida</strong>, Inc. The purpose <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Directory</strong> is to provide a resource <strong>for</strong> individuals<br />

<strong>with</strong> spina bifida and related conditions and their families. The <strong>Directory</strong> includes national, Maryland state and<br />

county resources in the following areas <strong>of</strong> service: associations, education, employment, family and individual<br />

supports, government agencies, insurance, legal, medical, recreation/sports/camps, and residential facilities.<br />

The Chesapeake-Potomac <strong>Spina</strong> <strong>Bifida</strong>, Inc. does not make any representation <strong>with</strong> respect to the quality <strong>of</strong><br />

services provided by any organization listed in this <strong>Directory</strong>. An ef<strong>for</strong>t was made to include all organizations<br />

that provide services to individuals <strong>with</strong> developmental disabilities. Inclusion <strong>of</strong> an organization does not imply<br />

endorsement nor does omission indicate disapproval by the Association. Organizations which are not included<br />

in this <strong>Directory</strong> or whose programs and services change are asked to contact the Association so future<br />

directories may be more complete.<br />

Future updates <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Directory</strong> will depend upon contributions made to Chesapeake-Potomac <strong>Spina</strong> <strong>Bifida</strong>,<br />

Inc. If you believe that such an ef<strong>for</strong>t is worthwhile, we ask that you make a contribution to the Association.<br />

Maryland Attorney General’s Office<br />

Health Care Advocacy Unit - 1-877-261-8807<br />

Through a new “Appeals and Grievances Law” enacted by the Maryland General<br />

Assembly, consumers have the right to a new appeal process when an HMO or health<br />

insurer denies medically necessary care. When a HMO or health insurer renders an<br />

adverse decision, it must do so in writing. Within two days <strong>of</strong> the decision, the HMO or<br />

health insurer must give the consumer details <strong>of</strong> their internal appeals process.<br />

If you decide to file an appeal, contact the Health Care Advocacy Unit <strong>for</strong> assistance in<br />

mediating your appeal. If the appeal involves an emergency, immediately call the<br />

Maryland Insurance Commission below which has the authority to overturn your HMO’s<br />

or health insurer’s decision if it is denying you medically necessary treatment.<br />

Under the new Maryland “Appeals and Grievances Law”, if you have been denied<br />

medically necessary treatment by your HMO or health insurer and have exhausted the<br />

health insurer’s internal appeals process and you are still not satisfied <strong>with</strong> the result,<br />

you can seek help from the MIA at the number above. Once the Administration gets<br />

your case, it has 30 days to issue a final decision, 24 hours in a medical emergency.<br />
