Last week, he found out there was no more money. <\/p>\n The center had to hurry and find places for more than 400 patients to stay. <\/p>\n Schell said that was impossible, and lots of patients wound up on the street. <\/p>\n \u201cI want you to imagine, 500 people, between 80 employees and 417 patients, patients by the way, like medical patients because they have a medical condition that we are treating. I want you to imagine all of those people going onto the street at the same time,\u201d Schell said. <\/p>\n People who go to Clearview for addiction counseling services stay in hotels around Montgomery County. <\/p>\n The Medicaid funds pay for those hotel rooms. <\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve just said Medicaid can no longer give you any payments for the services that you\u2019ve already rendered,\u201d Schell said. <\/p>\n Schell showed Robertson a letter from the Ohio Department of Medicaid. It was dated Oct. 1. <\/p>\n
