The intermediary in my case was a subsidiary of CIGNA INSURANCE COMPANY, CARECENTRIX, “a national network of over 8,000 credentialed provider (home healthcare agencies) locations”. Happy to be home after being taken care of so diligently at my local hospital and rehab facilities, my Medicare insurer, Florida Blue, directed me to contact the middleman company to arrange for immediate home care. In my case doctors prescribed daily wound care (tending to open wounds needing medicine applications, sterile cleansing and wound dressing) physical and occupational therapy and home health aides (to wash me). Now admittedly I don’t know if these middlemen actually have field reps who make office visits do patient interviews or have meaningful quality control measures in place when selecting a home healthcare agency that will be referred to patients. They too are large corporations with little nexus to where your home is. And these intermediaries aren’t down the street from you. Do U think Blue Cross (Florida Blue), CIGNA or AARP’s favorite, United Healthcare actually vet the zillions of local mom and pop home care agencies THEY REFER TO UNWITTING PATIENTS DAILY? Of course not! They subcontract to middlemen. Discharged from a hospital and need continuing (and less expensive) care? Your insurer will point you to a home healthcare agency. PS Shout out to Veronica for helping me feel welcome during my stay and going above and beyond her job that way.YOUR HEALTH INSURER AND THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS CAN KILL YOU.LITERALLY. If you or someone you know is in need of a recovery solution from addiction or substance use I encourage you to contact Serenity Vista today. The food is first rate, beds are perfect, and weekly recreation is ?! In the end I had so much fun despite the reality I was there to save my life from almost certain death. They call the clients guests instead of patients and it feels that way. I learned that Serenity Vista is the best in the world for my residential recovery needs. I have come to see that choosing an inpatient treatment can be a complex, even life or death, decision. From the first time I contacted John Derry there, I was treated with professional respect, kindness and amazing clarity about my options. This change took place by gently and consistently following the suggestions of the team at Serenity Vista. My new life rocks including restoring relationships, excelling at what I love to do and feeling like I have a purpose. Ultimately, I have experienced a total transformation to a life beyond my wildest dreams. What happened was developing a blueprint for staying clean and sober and the tools to live clean on life’s terms no matter what. I used to be hopelessly addicted to numbing myself any way possible, including alcohol and cocaine. “Have you ever felt hopeless and lost in life despite your best efforts to use willpower and control to stop drinking or using other drugs? I know I have and when I showed up at Serenity Vista in March 2017 I was hopeless and broken as it gets on the inside and outside. I am extremely grateful for the experience and highly recommend Serenity Vista to anyone and everyone who is willing to make a positive, life transformation." Im sure some people that read this may doubt my review but I can truly say, without reservation, that I am a completely different person (spiritually and mentally). On top of it all, some of the best meals I have ever eaten were prepared by Tammy at Serenity Vista. The tranquil and serene atmosphere of Boquete, Panama only added to the life-changing experience. Thanks to their program, I have the tools to live the life I have always wanted and deserved. The counsellors are amazing and each one of them has left a positive, life long impression with me in many different ways. I had been to another treatment facility in the past and have to say that Serenity Vista was a much more personable and positive experience for myself at a fraction of the cost. "Serenity Vista is an amazing facility with some of the most caring and admirable people I have ever met.
