[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 226351, member: 27"] RD, I'm not sure of the ins and outs with the juvenille system involved, because in my son's case, he was considered an adult by the courts (just turned 17), but a juvenille by our health insurance provider - so we were also in limbo. My son wasn't court ordered, but was arrested while we were waiting for a bed to open up at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). My insurance company would not pay for anything that had the word "residential" in it. I still to this day do not understand why, but they wouldn't. They also wouldn't pay for anything out of state. We were able to go through an agency of our county's MHMR agency, and they helped us file for medicaid for him - since it was based on his income (zilch). Although they did have us fill out financial papers and we were required to pay a monthly fee, it was minimal compared to the total cost. Just a thought - you might try contacting one of the agencies that deal with mental health in your area. Maybe they can help figure out financing. Hugs to you. I know that feeling when you're so close to thinking something might help, and then a hiccup in the system happens and you worry who will help. Keep us posted, and I hope it all works out ! Hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
