That might be a good idea hon @outlander
If your family think you are just going for medical treatment it might make it easier to go and get some help. Even if it is at a different place it could work. A good thing to think about.

I acknowledge that it is expensive @outlander especially if you go private. I have never gone public so cannot compare the two.
Every time I have gone in it has been to the same hospital, so my knowledge on different ones is very limited.

I've got private health, but I've only ever gone to public, and that's because it was out of necessity, and not a planned admission. @Snowie @outlander .
It's been more helpful for me in PARCs which was also public, but planned and for longer periods of time.

I'm glad your private insurance would cover it @outlander Might be something to look into.
@tyme mine have always been planned admission, normally to change meds, do ECT or because my SI was getting out of hand. Even with my SI admissions, they got me in very quickly.

I was turned away from private because I was too high risk @Snowie
