Length of Stay

We find that students’ stay depends on their age and therapeutic goals, and we work with each family to determine appropriate length of stay. In general, students are enrolled between 10- 12 weeks.

Insurance

While Pacific Quest is not in network with any insurance providers, many families are able to recover some portion of their stay through insurance reimbursement.  Our insurance billing partner Bridgeway Billing will work closely with our team and your insurance plan to submit pre-authorization, and pursue coverage.  

A couple of important details to remember:

  • You’ll need to make payment in advance, and be reimbursed for covered days at the end of your stay.
  • It is extremely unlikely that even when treatment is authorized, will your plan cover an entire stay.  Most insurance will discontinue coverage around 30-45 days. 
  • Reimbursement is not a 1:1 for dollars but for days covered.  We bill families at a discounted cash pay rate and pursue higher negotiated rates with insurance providers to help offset costs.

Our daughter went to Pacific Quest (PQ) in the spring of 2018. She suffered from depression and anxiety. Regular therapy at home was not enough and we heard about PQ. We were very reluctant to send her away from home. However, the staff made us feel better about the decision. Now, we know it was the best decision we could have made. It changed her life! The healthy living made a huge difference. The on-going therapy with Andrew Vispo (who was absolutely fantastic) helped her immensely and helped us. We will be forever grateful to PQ, Andrew and the rest of the staff.
