Thanks! Yeah, it’s certainly that time of year to really start getting some hiking in.

Yes, I agree. Would like like to get a better idea of the “cost/expense” side of this situation. Since a lot of them are tied into hospitals, that likely explains the inflated prices. That said, considering the relapse rate, this service can really add up for insurance companies as well. Once rehab patients meet their max out-of-pocket, insurers (and the risk pool) are on the hook for all the readmissions for the rest of the year. I think that is why a lot of insurance companies “carve-out” behavioral health and have another company manage it for them and keep an eye on utilization.
Really a difficult situation on all sides.
