At Rainbow Hill Recovery, we are dedicated to making LGBTQ+-affirming care accessible to everyone. We accept most out-of-network insurance policies and are actively expanding our list of In-Network providers. As of October 1, 2024, we are proud to be In-Network with Blue Shield of California, and we’re working on securing more In-Network contracts to increase accessibility for our clients.
Navigating insurance options can be complex, but understanding the differences between HMO and PPO plans will help clarify your coverage.
HMO plans typically require you to select a primary care physician (PCP) and obtain referrals to see specialists. You must use innetwork providers for your care, and out-of-network services are generally not covered unless there’s an emergency.
PPO plans offer more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers, allowing you to see both in-network and out-of-network providers without needing a referral. While staying in-network lowers your out-of-pocket costs, out-of-network services are still covered at a lower rate, providing more options for your care.
At Rainbow Hill Recovery, we accept most PPO plans for out-of-network benefits and will assist you in maximizing your insurance coverage. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain how your insurance works for our programs.
Finances should never stand in the way of affirming, life-saving care. At Rainbow Hill Recovery, we believe in clear, transparent pricing so you always know what to expect. While insurance paperwork may show higher billed charges, our flat fee rates represent the maximum out-of-pocket cost for families.
Insurance Rate: $20,000/month
Flat Fee Rate: $10,000/month
Insurance Rate: $13,000–$15,000/month
Flat Fee Rate: $4,500–$6,500/month
Insurance Rate: $10,000/month
Flat Fee Rate: $5,000/month
Insurance rates reflect standard billed charges.
Flat fee rates represent the maximum patient responsibility and supersede any insurance balance billing. Families will never be charged beyond the flat fee amount, regardless of what may appear on insurance statements.
