Hi and welcome to our caring BB community!
As you've only put a few words in on your subject, it's not easy to give advice especially, but makes it hard to get to know you as well.
I'm assuming this is a private hospital? Is it a psych ward or just a private bed? Privately, will you have to pay a 'gap' above medicare and private H/C funding? Are there options like a public system facility close to you? Would you like to comment on your disorder or condition? If so, I for one would like to hear your story if you're up to it.
Yeah, I know, there's a lot of questions to answer. Only do what you can ok?
Looking forward to hearing from you...
