How To Pay for Treatment at Elk River

Insurance & Financing

We understand that the financial responsibility of residential treatment and education program for your child can be overwhelming. To this end, we strive to keep our costs as low as possible and do not charge additional fees for application, academics, meals, accommodations, attire or gear required to participate in the program. Transport services, extensive psychological testing and some medical/nursing care (if necessary) may be billed separately by the providers.

The cost for your child to attend Elk River Treatment Program (ERTP) can be made through private payment with major credit cards or personal check. ERTP accepts private insurance only. We do not accept Medicaid. Some private insurance covers ERTP services, however, it seldom covers the entire program. Since ERTP is individualized to meet the needs of each child, the length of stay is dependent on the child’s response to treatment. Each child in our program is assigned a primary therapist who provides the family with weekly progress reports.

In-Network Provider

ERTP is an in-network provider for Cigna, Optum, American Behavioral, and Beacon Health Options (formerly Value Options).

Insurance companies determine eligibility for behavioral health treatment based on medical necessity. It is imperative that our admissions department and treatment team are aware of the criteria applied by your insurance plan.
