Last week, I was discharged from an Intensive Outpatient Program here at the Memorial Outpatient Department of Behavioral Health due to the fact that my insurance didn't cover the Memorial Healthcare System.
I had thought if that I had switched to Avmed insurance, that I would be able to go to The Odyssey Day Treatment Program at the same facility I mentioned above, so I jumped on the bandwagon without reading the fine print, and look what happened.
I do recall last Friday when I was discharged, I told the therapist that I was going to make the insurance change again, so I got a list of possible insurance companies that possibly covered the Memorial Healthcare System, so last Monday I called each one of them with no success, and then
the superviser of the facility recommended that I call Medicaid to make the switch to the HMO Wellcare, so yesterday, my mentor from the Rebel's Drop-in Center called Medicare and helped me switch to full medicare coverage so that way I can attend Odyssey in February, all I have to do now is hope and pray I get in.
Also this experience has inspired me to do a "Statement Picture" on the Healthcare Crisis here in The U.S.A. , which I will do sometime later this year.
