Types of Treatment

INPATIENT means the person leaves home and lives inside a treatment center, often for ____ days. The person attends individual therapy, attends group therapy, eats healthy meals, sleeps, and socializes at the treatment center.

OUTPATIENT means the person lives at home. The person might drive to a treatment center to attend individual therapy and/or group therapy, face-to-face. The person might use their computer, tablet, or cell phone to attend individual and/or group therapy by video (e.g. Zoom).

Diagnoses

Most of the treatment centers listed below help patients with a variety of eating disorders, including:

anorexia nervosa
bulimia nervosa
binge eating disorder
pica
rumination disorder
avoidant/ restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)
body dysmorphic disorder

Insurance

Some agencies do not bill your insurance directly. What exactly does that mean?

Step 1: You call your insurance company. You ask your insurance company a bunch of questions, such as: Will the insurance company pay for eating disorder treatment? Which diagnoses will they pay for? What is your deductible, co-pay, and maximum limit?

Step 2: You attend an intake assessment. You pay for the intake the day you complete the intake. In other words, you pay for treatment up-front. You might use your credit cards, money from your savings account, money from your 401K, or you might take out a second mortgage on your house. You might ask grandparents to help pay for treatment.

Step 3: The agency gives you paperwork (e.g. a treatment invoice).

Step 4: You give that paperwork to your insurance company. Then you wait.

Step 5: Your insurance company will (hopefully) reimburse you.

Step 6: While you are waiting for your insurance company to re-imburse you for the intake, you continue to attend treatment, and pay for services up front, out of pocket.

Step 7: If you run out of money, and can no longer pay for treatment, the agency will probably discharge you from treatment.
