[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 403971, member: 8831"] this whole thing really makes no sense to me...unless i'm missing a big chunk of the story. i thought you were going to there for a theraputic clinic based on the maudsley approach for food phobias. but yet she hasnt made it out of the medical setting yet? i get that the hospital doctors arent comfortable with the psychiatric end of things (except, no i dont exactly, i dont get why there is no psychiatrist in this equation who would be perfectly capable of treating the other issues). but i'm not particularly clear on this "three meal and out thing"...its the equivalent of a drug addict abstaining through a church retreat--odds are they are going back to old habits as soon as given the opportunity. i'm not understanding why she hasnt been moved over to the theraputic component...surely they understand there is more to treating this then just puppy dogs and rainbows, and regardless of their "approach" should have experts available to deal with all aspects of the mental health symptoms that would accompany food phobia, be it with whatever modalities they think are appropriate, combined with medical management--which would include medication monitoring. it seems to me that its an insurance issue at this point, which i also dont understand. surely you had a prior auth for the theraputic portion....which should still be in effect since she hasnt been in that program yet. it doesnt sound right that a medical based hospital stay would void that auth--how would it differ if you flew out there and she suddenly had appendicitis? if you think you need to stay, that might be a question worth asking of your benefits coordinator. and i sincerely hope they step up and help you coordinate services back home. i'd make it extremely clear you are having difficulty with local care. followup is one thing--major treatment of a cluster of serious disorders is another. even though you are on another coast, there should be a highly involved social worker helping you coordinate services at home--in fact, they would probably have better luck getting in with people than the averge parent might. just focus on the most important things--all of the rest can be worked out later.
