help nat for eating disorder treatment
Donation protected
hi my names nat, im 20 years old and have had an eating disorder for 15 years of my life, anorexia nervosa. for the past 5 years i have been in and out of inpatient, outpatient and php for my ED. two years ago, at 18 years of age, i had reached my breaking point with my ED and tried to find other treatment facilities to attend that could better help my needs and give me a better chance at recovery. i have medicaid/medicare insurance that doesn’t cover any treatment but only two places within my state. i have tried one treatment place, sheppard pratt CED. which is an inpatient facility. they aren’t the best place and caused more trauma and harm than good. the other facility is johns hopkins which the waiting list is long and very hard to even be accepted into. i have applied to project heal but all the options they picked were farther away from my state and my insurance only cover’s medical, and medication expenses within my state, not out. i was unable to reason with my insurance company to get them to cover anything out of state. i’ve been researching other places that i could go to, none of them take my insurance and only do private insurances. im not financially stable to pay out of pocket because most of my money from my job goes to bills for my apartment and rent. i’ve been looking to go to renfrew(the one in philadelphia) and pay out of pocket. with every donation and the money i receive from my job, im hoping to save enough to pay for total treatment, my goal is well over 20,000 but starting with small increments to help keep a realistic goal for each month.
