Larue Carter, being a state psychiatric hospital, is mostly funded by tax dollars. However, when patients are admitted, their financial information is reviewed and it is determined if they can pay for treatment. If patients have private insurance, medicaid or medicare, those my pay a portion of the patient's visit.
Many people believe that because Larue Carter is a state hospital, Indiana Residents are automatically afforded treatment. This is not so; even the patients that don't have the means to pay will receive a bill. Many times, the bills are written off because it is impossible for most patients to pay for treatment that can reach into the hundred-thousands. Thus, taxes from the state make up the difference.
