INSURANCE, STUDENT LOANS and SCHOLARSHIPS
The Pinnacle Schools understands the financial responsibility of a residential treatment program can be overwhelming. As a company, advocating for troubled teens and their families is of paramount importance. During these difficult economic times, we recognize that every family is struggling. To this end, we strive to keep our costs as low as possible. Below are a few funding options for your child's treatment.
Insurance:
TPS is happy to help families determine eligibility for coverage through their insurance company. All coverage is policy specific. As a courtesy, we will submit a claim to your insurance company, but as every insurance policy is different, we cannot guarantee reimbursement. You may call our Administrative Office toll free at (866) 906-8336 or (256) 518-9998 to speak with our Insurance & Billing Administrator.
Student Loans:
Student loans are an option for parents considering a private education for their child. Financing your child's education and treatment with a student loan allows you to make low monthly payments over a period of time. Health care loans are not collaterallized and are often less expensive to obtain than a mortgage loan. These loans can include all of your educational expenses such as tuition, student transport/escort fees and airfare. TPS maintains relationships with two excellent loan companies:
