Care levels at Tellurian

On care levels specifically: The facility's documented care levels are The facility offers specific levels of care: Inpatient, MAT. — each of which is appropriate for specific clinical presentations. Matching the level to the specific clinical need is the pre-admission work. What that means in practice is that matching Tellurian to the right clinical situation depends on whether you or a loved one needs the level of care this facility actually offers — which is a clinician's judgment, not a facility's sales pitch.

Insurance and payment

Tellurian accepts both Medicaid and commercial insurance, which is the broadest payer profile and typically correlates with programs that operate at scale across the economic spectrum. The single most useful pre-admission move on insurance is requesting the facility send you — in writing, by email — the specific benefits verification for your specific plan product. That document is the answer to most post-admission billing disputes.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Seniors or older adults, Veterans, Active duty military. If that matches what you or your family member need, great — and worth asking specifically about what the programming looks like day-to-day (how many hours per week of specialty-specific content, who leads it, what credentials they hold).

Before you call

Three questions to put to Tellurian before admission: the specific ASAM level the facility is billing; the written Verification of Benefits for your specific plan product; the MAT policy (continuation of buprenorphine or methadone during residential, specifically). The facility's documented pharmacotherapy offerings suggest MAT is available — confirm the specific medications and prescriber access during the admissions conversation. Getting answers in writing protects against the downstream surprises.
