How will this system of finding in-patient psychiatric services impact searches for free care?
Free Care patients are listed as “uninsured” in a database that lists all insurances operating in a given state. This database is accessed through the familiar drop-down menu format seen on many interactive web sites. As with all criteria, (gender, geography, full census, insurance, etc.) a hospital can temporarily deselect (turn off) its availability to take patients with certain characteristics, including payor source. The reason a given hospital does not appear on a particular search will remain unknown; it could be due to any of the criteria included in the search. We predict that this method of finding psychiatric services will reduce the time it takes to locate psychiatric services for both insured and uninsured patients. Top 14. Who owns psychbedfinder.com?
