Know your benefits!!!!!

I am almost through with week 2 at the hospital I am working at. Hospitals are about helping people and making money. Money keeps the doors open and employees there to help patients. Which brings me to my point of the blog. It surprises me how many people do not know what their behavioral health insurance benefits are or what benefits they have through work. They don't look at it until a crisis arrives. Please review your insurance benefits and employee assistance benefits. The time of a crisis is not the time to figure out where your insurance is accepted and what type of care you have. A day of treatment for the facility I work at cost 900.00/day on average. That's is a lot when you have to pay it out of pocket.
