“Virginia parents of children diagnosed with PANS/PANDAS, a neurological disorder, remain hopeful that new legislation introduced by Virginia Del. Patrick Hope (D-Arlington) will require insurance carriers and Medicaid to cover the expensive treatments needed to treat the disease.
For the past five years, Ashburn resident Jenna Libbares has been living in what she describes as a “nightmare” managing her three children’s debilitating health condition.
It started when her son, now 10, was entering kindergarten. He was frequently sick with colds and could never fully recover.”
