[QUOTE="Goldie, post: 504973, member: 13756"] Thank you, Deb! This is all so strange for me. A year ago, I was immersing myself in the intricacies of applying for financial aid for college. I would not have thought that a year later, I would need to learn all about affording rehab. But you do what you have to do, I guess! I wish there were a book or a primer about this topic, though, the way there is for paying for college. I have now googled SSI benefits, but I realize I have a ways to go before I have a real handle on how we can afford this. Our insurance does not pay for extended residential rehab, so even if we eventually get reimbursement for this 31-day primary care stay, we are on our own for any subsequent care, other than IOP. So I guess -- I'd better get focused on this now! Anyway, we are leaving this evening for a four-day Family Education Program (FEP) at difficult child's rehab facility, and will be meeting on Tuesday with the financial person there who is helping with our insurance appeal. I'll post again next week about that. I don't think we get to see difficult child too much at the FEP, but we do have lunch with him two of the days, plus he will be performing an original song at chapel on Sunday. (I wish I could link to a video of him performing this song back in September at Student Talent Night at his college, but I guess that would be a problem, privacy-wise! But I have to say, the boy can compose and sing; whenever I'm down in dumps, I watch that youtube video.) [/QUOTE]
