[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 261886, member: 7170"] They have done that stuff to me too in the past. Her first psychiatric hospital stay the nurse just dialed my work number and handed Angel the phone - one of my co-workers said "I think its a prank but it could be your kid" so I took the call yep it was Angel 6yo first time away from home scared out of her mind and all I could think while talking to her is I want to get my hands on that nurse! Here we have option of 2 psychiatric hospital and I am to the point now I absolutely won't allow her to go into one of them. For some reason the crisis center always tries to get a bed in the one I hate first, I just don't get that! And then they get really offended when I pull out a discharge summary from 2005 and declare in a loud voice Dr. $#@%@ almost killed my kid. When they look at the summary and read the part about "mom refused consent for Ritalin" then further down the page "discharge medications - Ritalin LA"; then and only then will they put a call to the good psychiatric hospital to see if they have any beds. I would give it to them in writing that when admission took place that you were under the impression that you had insurance coverage to cover this and if insurance isn't paying please send discharge as not many could afford to pay out of pocket for this. Who knows it just might get him home for the holiday. So sorry you have to be going thru this nightmare, I hope he comes home soon. [/QUOTE]
