Payments, Insurance and Accreditation

We provide continuous care treatment options through groups, individual and family education, and community connections.

Insurance and Payment

Many of SunCloud Health’s patients use their in-network benefits to pay for treatment. There is usually a deductible and some form of co- insurance that our patients must pay directly to us.

This (CNBC) video provides a basic understanding of how medical costs and insurance are related and structured. Which may help you anticipate expenses and budget better for your health.
Upon admission to SunCloud Health, a patient must sign a “SCH Financial Agreement” contract that obligates him or her to pay for the services rendered, commensurate with the contracts we have in place with the various insurance companies and per each individual’s specific plan. For the financial portion our patients pay directly to us, SunCloud accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. We also accept checks.

Our main concern is providing recovery and helping people find a more fulfilling life.

Important to note on patient intake:

We suggest patients consult our Intake/Financial Coordinators (call us at (855) 956-2850), our coordinators will:

  • Review costs
  • Payment options
  • Work with patients to help them fully understand how their insurance benefits can be used to support them with treatment

Our initial assessments and evaluations are intended to provide a recommended level of and course of care.

  • Charges will apply unless otherwise advised.
  • Cancelation policies may also apply.
  • Financial terms and conditions are provided at your first visit; please ask if you would like to review them ahead of time.
  • Where needed we will work with our patients to make arrangements that fit their financial situations.
