Here are some important things to know about payment and insurance:
- Each individual insurance benefit plan is different.
- Some variations may be subtle and limitations of the plan can easily be overlooked.
- Be sure to verify your benefits with your Human Resource Department Benefits Administrator and your Insurance Company.
As a courtesy, Timberline Knolls' admissions staff will contact your insurance company and request information about your Mental Health benefits, specifically the benefit for Residential Treatment (RTC), the primary level of care offered at Timberline Knolls. The information our admissions team obtains is called a quote of benefit, which tells you whether or not your insurance plan includes a residential treatment benefit. Please note this isn’t a guarantee or authorization of coverage.
Your insurance company decides whether or not they will cover your stay at Timberline Knolls, and for what period of time, based on their criteria and assessments our clinical staff provides in the first 72 hours of treatment. Sometimes this differs from the recommendation of your clinical team. Treatment history is an essential component for most insurance carriers to consider funding any days at the RTC level of care. Most insurance companies prefer that a patient has attempted a PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) or IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) and not met the intended objectives prior participating in residential treatment.
If you have additional questions or need more information, please contact our Admissions Department.
