Insurance and payment

The facility also accepts TRICARE or military benefits. Most post-treatment billing disputes trace back to a specific moment when an admissions counselor said one thing and the benefits department later documented something else. Avoid the moment by getting the written VOB before admission, not after.

Specialty programming

A facility's specialty designation is a starting filter, not an endorsement. The operational questions (who leads it, how many hours per week, what credentials) are where the actual answer lives.
