Ask for the written VOB before admission, save the email, and the rest of the financial conversation becomes a lot simpler.

Specialty programming

Before you call

Three questions to put to YMCA of Honolulu Molokai High School 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).

Programs that do not are operating outside the current standard of care. Getting answers in writing protects against the downstream surprises.
