[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 381829, member: 8617"] Tell the insurance that if they refuse her that perhaps they need to find a reasonable alternative because clearly she is in need of help and it seems that every viable option is turned down by either insurance or psychiatrists. I am not surprised she is upset about their program right now. Though it sounds a bit strange in a therapeutic sense it isn't so uncommon for an adult to make a kid sit awhile to think about being hungry/not eating before they let them run off to "play". I have done it with my difficult child a couple times when he was younger and it worked for him, though he had no eating disorder. It may not be some brutal force feeding issue as much as it is denying a reward activity with the group for her lack of compliance. Though it may seem harsh they may have to exhaust some basic tactics before meeting whatever their protocol is for the tube feeding. They have to document her behavior in their own records regardless of what your paperwork said just to cover their rears. If they are a specialty clinic with a good record one would think they have certain policies and procedures to follow before ramping up her care a notch. [/QUOTE]
