Legal Question in Health Care Law in Pennsylvania

My 2 year old child is considered medically fragile. With all of his many diagnoses, we are unable to find someone to care for his needs while my husband and I work during the day. In our state, PA, there are medical day cares available to provide the type of services our child needs, so that we can continue to work. Our child's insurance, a medicaid provider has denied his claim for the service. We have already appealed once, and had our appeal denied. Knowing that this service would be the best for him, based on his many disabilities, we have decided maybe it's time to pursue legal action. My question is, what type of lawyer would be best equipped to handle our case? We are not looking for monetary compensation, just to get the services our son desperately needs. We need someone to represent our child's interest, and hopefully to do it pro-bono, since we have no money whatsoever. Any legal advice would be greatly appreciated.

Start with your county bar association, county community legal aid program, and/or one of the larger firms in you county to see if they offer any pro-bono service for this tyoe of claim. Also check with your state senator and state representative for assistance and referrals. Good luck to you.
