Called at 10:00am today to verify the authenticity of a doctor's note issued by the IMC Emergency Department. The ER doctor rudely and repeatedly insisted it is a HIPAA violation to verify the authenticity of a doctor's note (it isn't), yelled over me, and hung up. I called back twice, and the same thing happened.I'm not sure who is training the doctors here, but common sense would tell anyone that there's no point in giving out a doctor's note if the hospital isn't legally allowed to verify its authenticity. If their ER doctor's don't know the basics of the HIPAA privacy rule, I'm curious as to what else they don't know.

I recently had two tooth extractions done in the Dental part of InterFaith Medical Center, on the 31st, of October 2024 . This was my second visit at this location. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The area is very clean and well kept. The resident physician that performed the extraction was Gabriel Carberry DMD. His personality was upbeat and pleasant, a breath of fresh air for anyone who is frightened of the dentist. This was also the first time in my life that the needle used for numbing the gums didn't hurt at all. He was very gentle & very thorough. This was the best experience I've ever had going to the dentist.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Programs

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Seniors Program

Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.

They never pick up their phones and don't do the things they say they will. Going to this doctor was a huge waste of my time, and has caused issues with my insurance that continue to haunt me. Avoid at all costs.

I had outpatient surgery yesterday and it was an amazing experience. Dr. Hall was an excellent doctor. He did an excellent job. It never hurt. It's my 2nd day and I have no pain. This Dr is the best at what he does, you can see that he loves what he does.And the nurse who took care of me after the operation made me feel so comfortable, such a sweet and kind person, a very nice person, we need more nurses like her, thank you so much.

Not very helpful to the patients it takes way too long for simple things like getting out of bed to use the bathroom. I think the emergency room is the section that should be better service. I never stood in a room only overnight.for a couple times.
