It's one of the first things they ask. The accreditation opens the facility to a wider range of patients, Altenburg said. If a patient wants insurance to cover it, they file their own claim. The outpatient care and structure of the treatment at Bay Area allows more patients to get help, Silgero said. If it's not successful the first time, it's already run out.
Outpatient helps that.
The patient can go on here until they made a complete change - there's no time limit. With in-patient care, you only have so long. The outpatient care helps keep costs down, Ward said. And that's where the loss of Charter could hurt the most, Altenburg said. From what I understand, they only have so many beds.
