Denied admission?!

Denied admission?

after coming to terms with the reality of hospitalization and going all the way up to the hospital-doing the intake-and all the stress and fear. the insurance denies my admission. why? i wasnt acute enough. despite the fact that my doc sent me and a nurse practioner plus a psychiatrist who did see me for two hours felt i needed admission. the insurance providers shrink decided i wasnt acute enough. she didnt see me or talk to me but somehow she knew better than the folks who saw me and took time to diagnose me plus my shrink who knows me for 3 years. its all about the money-not whats best for the patient. . i do want to say that the facility was not what i expected. beautiful setting-really great staff. they were so kind and helpful.they comforted me and made me feel very cared for. if for some reason you need to go to a psychiatric facility or send someone you love to one i would say go to FOUR WINDS HOSPITAL. especially if its a child.

Greed - the root of all evil.
