Wow I am glad I switched insurances before this happened. I used to have this same exact insurance. Same area. They did do a poor job at mental health services to begin with. They dropped me a week into my eating disorder inpatient stay because the doctor recommended NG removal. Meaning I could eat without a tube. Forget the behavioral stuff, as long as I'm stabilized medically. The hospital felt so bad that they kept me another 3 weeks free of charge.

this website might be helpful. There is a list of all the insurance companies in Pa and their credentials. I know a few people in at my office who work and receive just over a 1,000 dollars a month that are not eligible for mcaid who receive benefits. It's a shame they recently cancelled adultbasic in Pa. Which was basically the CHIP for adults. They have a new one coming called "FairCare" which is generally the same thing. However they don't start the coverage till 2014. You can however start applying June 1 2011. And it's a first come, first serve basis.

Also have you been deemed disabled? If you're receiving SSDI under the age of 65 you can get medicare after a two year waiting period. Which seems it should be coming up soon for you, since this was started awhile ago. I am currently getting SSDI and will eligible in August for medicare. If you are getting SSI though, well you'd be covered under medicaid for a low income, so you're probably not.

I have been my basic own caseworker my whole time in treatment and know the system pretty well. If you have any questions I can try my best to answer.
