Insurance Information:

Insurance Verification Form

We are in the process of becoming an in-network provider for our teen mental health and teen and young adult eating disorder programs. However, we are currently out-of-network during this process. To ensure the financially responsible party has a full understanding of the current financial process, we will verify out-of-network benefits and connect the financially responsible party with a HopeWay Financial Specialist to answer any questions. As an out-of-network provider, we will attempt to receive authorization for services and file claims for our clients. We will then collect an upfront payment for services and the client’s insurance company will reimburse the subscriber directly based on their specific insurance policy terms. Through the generous support of our community & donors, we do have financial assistance available for those with a demonstrated financial need and will work to meet each families needs.
