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.

If you still have questions about insurance and Pacific Quest tuition cost, please contact our Admissions team. 

Additional Resources

Many families may find it helpful for getting insurance or out-of-pocket reimbursement by working with these Healthcare Advocate companies:

• SJ Health Insurance Advocates
• Mental Health & Autism Insurance Project

The transformation our son experienced at Pacific Quest was profound and lasting. Their unique integration of Horticulture therapy into a comprehensive therapeutic program focusing on reflection, personal responsibility, and family dynamics, combined with the unwavering support of compassionate professionals makes Pacific Quest exceptional among programs for challenged adolescents. Because of Pacific Quest, our son will have a chance for the healthy, meaningful life he deserves.
