Financial Information and Fees
Financial Information
Skyland Trail offers individualized treatment programs to address the special needs of each client in their recovery from mental illness. Treatment plans vary in length according to individual needs. The severity of symptoms and number of days to complete treatment will affect the total cost of the program. Because every client and situation is unique, Skyland Trail provides up-front financial counseling for each client and family. For those without insurance or mental health benefits, we encourage you to ask the Admissions staff about our pre-payment discount program. A number of private insurance companies cover Skyland Trail services; however, as with other health treatment, insurance does not typically cover the entire cost of the program or the recommended length of stay for a full recovery.
Skyland Trail accepts payment with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express as well as personal checks. Although we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid, we do offer a financial aid program for clients and families who meet need-based financial criteria. Additionally, we offer financing options for families and clients through a third party vendor.
Engagement Incentive Program
A client's individual engagement in their treatment is vital to their success. Skyland Trail is pleased to provide a unique Engagement Incentive Program, which provides financial discounts as clients continue to actively engage in their treatment. This innovative program is incorporated into our billing program and offers a reduction in fees to clients who are evaluated their clinical team. Clients who meet the criteria will receive 5% off the following month's billing statement. For each month thereafter, continued engagement will increase the discount by 5% to a maximum of 20%. The Engagement Incentive Program only applies to the self pay portion of a client's account. Clients who are using health insurance must pay the co-insurance or co-pays required by their insurance plan.
Financial Aid Program
Through the generosity of Skyland Trail donors and friends we offer a financial aid program to assist clients and families who meet the need-based financial criteria. The application process consists of a financial aid application and a personal financial statement from the guarantor(s) – those who guarantee payment of the treatment fees – as well as submission of the guarantor’s tax returns from the previous three years. After a thorough review, financial aid awards are granted by a board committee to offset a portion of the program fees.

Fees
Skyland Trail’s recommended treatment varies in length, according to the individual client needs and the program. The severity of a client’s symptoms and the time needed to complete the recovery plan will inevitably affect the total cost of treatment.
We encourage clients to participate in treatment for the recommended length of stay, which varies by diagnosis, to provide adequate time to develop and implement the customized treatment plan and make desired progress toward treatment goals. Depending on the client’s recovery track, which is determined as part of the admissions process, the length of stay will vary within each program and is based on the individual client’s progress.
