What happens when I call?
The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.
What if I have no insurance?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. Deductibles reset each year, so the timing of an admission changes the number. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.
