Insurance and payment

Benefit verification should be obtained in writing prior to admission and should document: network contract status for the specific insurance product, prior authorization requirements and approved day-count, applicable cost-sharing structure, and out-of-network secondary coverage (where applicable). Proceeding on verbal VOB creates material risk of post-admission benefit dispute.

Clinical verification of specialty programming should encompass credentialed staff profile, programming-hour documentation, and specialty-specific medical-necessity documentation for third-party authorization. The MHPAEA 2024 rule addresses specialty-program network adequacy for patients requiring specific clinical capabilities.
