Money

If you pre-paid, please bring information on wire transfer transaction, check or any other payment sent prior to admission.
- Personal Spending. We recommend that you bring additional funds to cover personal spending for incidental items such as cigarettes, snack, etc.
- Prescription Drugs co-payments. Some insurance providers require clients to pay additional co-payments or deductibles for medication. We recommend that clients bring a credit card or additional funds in the amount of $500 to cover these charges.
Medications
Bring prescription medication dosage necessary during your travel plus one day. Our facility is not authorized by state regulatory agencies to manage your current medication. Medication prescribed by our staff physicians will be distributed through our pharmacy. We will attempt to bill your insurance for these medications. We recommend that you do not order new medication or refill any medication prior to traveling as insurance companies limit refill for a period of thirty day. Ordering or refilling prescriptions before traveling or within thirty days will limit your new medication claim and you may have to be responsible for payment.
