Ok so I made it home safely and I have finally gotten some sleep. Sorry about taking so long to update.
On Tuesday at River Oaks I knew that the Pdoc was having a phone doc to doc review of my case for insurance. At around 4pm the Pdoc came to see me and said that I had been authorized for 2 more days. But then 30 min later the case manager from the business office came to see me. She told me that she had just spoken with the insurance company and they had denied coverage beginning that morning so I needed to sign the release stating I was agreeing to pay the cost of my stay at the daily rate. (I won't disclose the rate). I was shocked as it was contrary to what I had just been told and I said that to her. However, neither she nor the Pdoc could clarify for me which case was reality and as it was now past the end of business so calling the insurance company was unproductive as anyone that could answer was gone for the day.
So with no notice, closure, discharge planning nothing I was discharged. I am not upset with River Oaks. They were great attempting to help me get answers, the trauma program was great. But the situation with the insurance company was unconscionable. With all the challenges that I have I thought I was fine but about an hour into my drive home I had a meltdown feeling worthless, invalidated and suicidal and I struggled with that the entire trip home.
I am doing better now, I have had an appointment with my outpatient therapist and actually about a 30 min conversation with my inpatient therapist. I am going to stabilize with my t, continue our work and in 3-6 months go back to River Oaks and finish the work we started.
If anyone has questions about River Oaks I would be happy to answer them.
