Payment
Total treatment costs depend on the level of care required and the number of days needed to complete treatment. Over an average 4 month treatment stay, most clients use some combination of private pay and insurance benefits to cover the costs of program fees and professional services. Medicare and Medicaid do not cover their services at any level of care.
Their residential treatment program is in-network with many plans offered by Aetna and Magellan. It is non-contracted and private pay only for all other insurance carriers. Their nonresidential programs, including the day treatment and intensive outpatient programs are covered by a number of insurance companies. Most clients who begin in Sklyland’s residential level of care transition to a nonresidential level of care as their symptoms and skills improve.
Skyland Trail can refer you to a third-party insurance advocate, SJ Health, which can help with use of out-of-network insurance company benefits. While clients will be billed directly for residential base program fees, SJ Health can help authorize treatment with and maximize reimbursement from out-of-network insurance companies.
