"It's ridiculous the protocol and process they have to make you run around jumping thru hoops, yet they take no accountability for the issues they cause... And with the turnover rate on the employees, well there's obviously something wrong."
— Rehab.com"I was denied service because my Marketplace insurance didn't cover the cost. They said I would have to pay fees that added up to over hundreds for my first visit. When I explained that I had no income, they claim to help with that IF I had medicaid. In other words, they only help if they get paid."
