[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 226489, member: 5941"] Merry Christmas and belated Happy Hanukah to all: Yep, I'm prepared for any and all insurance "tricks," from not getting a precert to the arbitrary decision that treatmetn is no longer "medically necessary." Our carrier has no limit on days in residential but it is governed by medical necessity, which means the staff at the facility will be calling the carrier about every three days to beg another three days. I expect more stress, but at least we are making a dent in our son's rock-hard cabesa, that we will not tolerate his activities. One of his "friends" just got placed in juvenile detention for four months for beating and punching another boy so badly that bones were broken -- not a shoving match, a real beating. This boy, the perpetrator, is a year younger than my son and had spent several weeks in a wilderness program over the summer. Apparently it didn't do enough. My son spent a lotof time this past summer with this young man, staying at his dad's house wehre there was little or no supervision. My son cannot come home immediately after this 45-60 day diagnostic program. He needs a real Residential Treatment Center (RTC) experience away from home to break from kids who drag each other down. Just gotta stay strong until he goes, whether it's Tuesday or Friday. I am counting my blessings today, that although my family is messed up, I know where everyone is, and they are safe. I"m praying for those out there who are not so fortunate. [/QUOTE]
