Insurance

We handle
the complexity.

Cost should not
be the barrier.

Navigating insurance for behavioral health treatment is often confusing, time-consuming, and — at the worst possible moment — deeply discouraging. Our team takes that burden entirely off your plate.

We verify your benefits, coordinate with your carrier, handle prior authorizations, and advocate for coverage on your behalf. You focus on getting well. We handle the rest.

Private Pay

Complete privacy,
no exceptions.

For clients who require absolute financial privacy — no insurance records, no explanation of benefits, no carrier involvement of any kind — private pay is the right choice.

We offer transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees. Payment arrangements are available. All financial discussions are handled with the same discretion as your clinical care.

"The financial conversation should never be the reason someone doesn't get help."

Common Questions

Insurance,
demystified.

If you use insurance, your carrier will receive a claim — this is standard for any medical service. However, your employer does not receive details of your care. If complete privacy from your insurer is a priority, private-pay arrangements are available and we can discuss what that looks like for your situation.

In-network means we have a negotiated rate with your carrier, which typically results in lower out-of-pocket costs for you. Out-of-network coverage varies by plan — our team will verify your specific benefits before you make any decisions.

Denials are not the end of the road. Our team has extensive experience with appeals and peer-to-peer reviews. We advocate on your behalf and have a strong track record of overturning initial denials for medically necessary care.

Private-pay clients pay directly, with no insurance involvement of any kind. This is the most discreet option available. We offer transparent, all-inclusive pricing and can discuss payment arrangements. Contact our admissions team for current rates.

Yes. Substance use treatment is a qualified medical expense under IRS guidelines. HSA and FSA funds can be applied to your care at The Lake.

Possibly. We work with many carriers beyond those listed, and out-of-network benefits may still cover a significant portion of your care. Call us and we will verify your coverage at no obligation.
