Reply to My kid is in the hospital, should we transfer? by backgroundmusik

I hate to bring up this practicality when the most important piece of this is your child’s health, but would your health insurance cover a specialist or hospital stay at Mercy?? Because if not, that could be tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket….

I know that’s not an issue for everyone, but I know my insurance only covers Cox providers or the out of network folks in STL they refer me to….

Reply to ADHD Clinic Advice / Recommendations by OkDiscussion9395

Burrell does an EXCELLENT job at adult ADHD evals (most psych evals, really…) unfortunately because they are the best in town & demand is high, their wait is Loooong rt now. Like first apt is out a year on wait time. They do have wait/ cancel lists & move ppl up as much as they can. Also the way they schedule even if you have to wait a year for the initial interview, your testing apt is usually within 1-2 weeks so that’s good at least.

No idea on price- that depends on your insurance often times. If you are paying out of pocket/ cash you might be able to negotiate with them a bit on timing & price, esp. if you are willing to be tested by an intern who is being supervised by a licensed doc.

OP if you need to call the cops in the future, request a CIT officer respond to the call. They have additional training in MH issues & there is supposed to be at least one CIT trained officer on shift at all times.

Reply to Flu Vaccine by ExpertAd7310

The health dept. is doing them for free, I think. Any chance your employee is doing a free flu shot clinic? Mine does this yearly, but I work adjacent to healthcare…. Honestly more employers SHOULD do this- will save a lot of headache & money on inevitable call outs if ppl get the flu!
