Insurance and payment

Most post-treatment billing disputes trace back to a specific moment when an admissions counselor said one thing and the benefits department later documented something else. Avoid the moment by getting the written VOB before admission, not after.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Seniors or older adults, Clients with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, Persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
