INSURANCE AND FINANCING

How Can I Afford The Place?

Paying for treatment does not need to be confusing or difficult. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of how insurance works at The Place, what your financial options are and where outside financing might work for you, if needed.  We work with many insurance companies. We work with and can recommend some medical treatment financing companies. There is the option of private payment. We will answer any questions you might have on any of these options.

HOW INSURANCE WORKS AT THE PLACE

Many of the men who come to The Place use health insurance to help cover the cost of residential treatment. Let's take a look at the options.


Step-by-Step Overview of the Process


  1. Confidential conversation
    You or a loved one calls our admissions team or completes the online form. We gather basic information about your situation and your insurance company's information from this initial contact.
  2. Benefit verification
    With your permission, we contact your insurance company to confirm:
  3. Whether residential behavioral health care is covered
  4. Any preauthorization requirements
  5. Deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximums
  6. Confirm with you, whether we can bill your plan directly and/or how claims are typically handled
  7. Clear explanation of coverage
    We review what your plan is likely to cover and what portion may be your responsibility, with you in plain language. You can ask as many questions as you need before, making a decision.
  8. Financial options discussion
    If there are gaps in coverage, we talk through the private pay process, and external medical lending options, so you can decide what is realistic.
  9. No-obligation decision
    Insurance verification is free and confidential. You are not committing to treatment just by asking us to check your health insurance coverage.


You do not need to know “how insurance works” before you call. That is our job.

INSURANCE AND PRIVATE PAY

Our admissions team regularly works with many major commercial insurance plans to seek coverage for residential behavioral health care. 


Every policy is different, so we treat each case individually.

In many situations, families are surprised to learn that their plan covers more than they expected. In other cases, high deductibles or coverage limits mean that only certain parts of your treatment will be covered. Either way, you deserve clear information up front.


We also accept private pay

Some families prefer to pay privately, either because:

  • They want to protect their privacy, from an employer-sponsored plan
  • Their plan has very limited behavioral health benefits and/or a high deductible
  • They live outside the coverage area 
  • They want to submit to your insurance provider an out-of-network claim. 
  • They have outside resources to draw from

If you choose private pay, we will:

  • Provide a clear per-day cost or 30-day program rate
  • Outline what is included in that rate
  • Explain any additional costs that might apply, so there are no surprises
  • We accept all major credit cards, Zelle, Venmo, checks and electronic transfers

If required, we provide receipts that you may submit to your insurance as an out-of-network claim. Your insurance plan then determines whether any reimbursement is available and works with you, directly.

FINANCING AND MEDICAL LENDERS

If you have insurance, there may be deductibles, co-insurance, or portions of the stay that are not covered. For some families, private pay is the primary or only option. We take this seriously and believe you should have clear choices.


Understanding your costs

As part of your admissions conversation, we will outline:

  • Program rates for residential treatment
  • What is included in those rates
  • Expected insurance contribution, based on your benefits
  • Your estimated out-of-pocket cost

These are estimates, not guaranteed prices, because insurers make the final payment decisions. We update you if there are material changes.


Financing options

Some families choose to spread their costs out over time and will opt to work through outside medical lenders or healthcare financing companies. These can include:

  • Private personal loans that the patient or family uses to pay the facility directly
  • Patient-financing programs that some financing brokers suggest
  • Medical credit card and loan products designed specifically for healthcare expenses

Examples of well-known medical financing options that are commonly used in behavioral health and healthcare settings include:

  • Prosper - a personal-loan provider
  • LendingClub Patient Solutions
  • LightStream -personal loans
  • CareCredit -medical credit card 
  • M-Lend Financial -medical expense lenders
  • Brokers such as United Credit or eFinancing Solutions

The Place does not act as a lender and does not provide financial advice. We do not receive commissions from these lending companies. Our role is to:

  • Give you a starting list of lenders that often work with rehabilitation treatment medical expenses
  • Encourage you to compare terms, interest rates and fees, carefully
  • Suggest questions to ask any lender before you commit

When you speak with admissions, we can share a brief summary of reputable medical lenders and typical questions to consider. The final decision about whether to use financing, and which lender to choose, is always, yours. 


If you are weighing treatment and feeling anxious about the financial side, you are not alone. Many families find that once they understand their insurance benefits, the likely costs, and possible financing options, the decision becomes clearer.

What to expect before your first day

Once your insurance coverage has been checked and you decide to move forward, there are a few things that happen before you arrive.


1. Confirmation of benefits and costs

We review:

  • The portion of your treatment your insurance is likely to cover
  • Any deductible or co-insurance that may apply
  • Your estimated out-of-pocket responsibility
  • Options if your actual coverage differs from the initial estimate 
  • We are transparent about the fact that final coverage decisions are made by your insurance company. We keep you informed if anything changes.


2. Intake and clinical review

Our clinical team reviews:

  • Your diagnoses, physical health concerns and safety needs 
  • Whether The Place is the right level of care and setting for you. 
  • If we do not believe our program is an appropriate fit, we will say so and, when possible, suggest alternatives and referrals


3. Planning for time away

We help you think through:

  • Coordinating work or school leave
  • Communication about family responsibilities while you are in treatment
  • Coordinating household responsibilities and tasks while you are in treatment
  • Travel arrangements to Pennsylvania 
  • You also receive guidance on what to bring, what not to bring, and what the first days at The Place will look like.
