[QUOTE="bigblueagain, post: 4369, member: 909"] we too faced this problem with our difficult child until we had coverage thru Magellan. They balked at our residential placement first, until my husband's then employer called and pushed for them to approve. IF your employer is a self insured company(meaning they use their own $ and Magellan does not carry any of the risk) you could lobby them to extend benefits. You can say it would save continued inpatient days as a bargaining tool(even though you are about out of them). In actuality your coverage is very liberal however. I now work for a third party administrator of mental health/substance abuse benefits, much like Magellan, and even though our employers are all self insured, none have benefits like yours. So I don't know how far you may get. I would explore the state's Kids First or CHIP type coverage(for those children who are uninsured or underinsured).BLUE [/QUOTE]
