Questions people ask about Youth Care of Utah
What levels of care does Youth Care of Utah offer?

Is Youth Care of Utah an option for someone under 18?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Draper has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Will my insurance cover this?
Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. Whether a plan calls something medically necessary is the hinge, and that is a clinical judgment made on paperwork. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
Do I have to tell my boss?
It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
