Provider's Policy
The insurance specialists at Pinelands have a vast array of knowledge when dealing with insurance and treatment coverage. They will work on your behalf to communicate with your insurance provider to determine how much your insurance plan will cover. Additionally, case managers and treatment specialists keep detailed clinical documents to ensure that if a patient needs more treatment than initially expected, the insurance coverage should not be an issue. Unfortunately, many insurance companies will reject extended lengths of stay or additional treatment modalities if the correct diagnosis, prognosis or verbiage is not used.
