Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital
Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital is an 86-bed psychiatric hospital in Panama City, Florida. It provides acute inpatient psychiatric care at its main campus and operates outpatient services in the Florida Panhandle. This is a behavioural-health hospital, not solely an addiction-rehabilitation centre.
Patients and services
The hospital lists inpatient acute psychiatric programmes for children ages 4–12, adolescents ages 13–17 and adults age 18 and older. It also offers adult and adolescent outpatient care, specialised services for active-duty military members and veterans, chemical-dependency treatment, and transcranial magnetic stimulation at specified locations. Campus availability differs: the main hospital is in Panama City, while Blue Springs and Okaloosa are separate outpatient centres.
Contact and payment
The main campus is at 1940 Harrison Avenue, Panama City, FL 32405. The published 24-hour assessment and admissions number is 850-763-0017. The provider says it accepts Medicare, Managed Medicaid, TRICARE and most major commercial insurers. Benefits and out-of-pocket costs depend on the patient and service; the hospital publishes standard-charge information but notes that charges are not the same as expected payment.
