I had a recent case where my client wound up in a rehab for drugs and alcohol. They told my client that they would be at this facility for two weeks and believe it or not, they were demanding $70,000. That means the cost was $35, $35,000 per week. I could not believe that prior to him being in the facility, they indicated that there was no reason it wouldn’t be covered. They wouldn’t provide my client with an itemized bill, so therefore the insurance company would not even pay the bills. I highly recommend that if you go to a mental health facility, you have pre-authorization from your insurance carrier and how much of the bill the insurer will pay. If anything comes up you need help with, please call me. I’m here to help you. Thank you.
