We have con­tracts in process with sev­eral other insur­ance com­pa­nies. We are will­ing to apply to become a provider for any client’s insur­ance com­pany. We sub­mit all billing directly to any insur­ance com­pany and com­plete any required paper­work. We also have a schol­ar­ship pro­gram for those clients with no finan­cial assis­tance and we accept pri­vate pay.

The­An­der­sen Schol­ar­ship Pro­gram is named in mem­ory of Leslie Ander­sen, the grand­fa­ther of Christina Nulk. Mr. Ander­sen worked enthu­si­as­ti­cally to pro­vide ser­vices to dis­abled chil­dren dur­ing his life­time and funds from his estate estab­lished this pro­gram and con­tinue to sup­port it. The pro­gram is also sup­ported by pri­vate dona­tions, cor­po­rate dona­tions, and an annual fundraiser. Play­Date Behav­ioral Inter­ven­tions also ded­i­cates a min­i­mum of 5% of the gross agency income to the schol­ar­ship fund annually.

The schol­ar­ship pro­gram is designed to pro­vide finan­cial assis­tance to chil­dren regard­less of diag­no­sis or finan­cial resources. There are two lev­els of assis­tance. Those chil­dren who are not eli­gi­ble for insur­ance reim­burse­ment may apply for a schol­ar­ship to cover the major­ity of the cost of their ther­apy. Those chil­dren whose insur­ance reim­burse­ment requires very high co-​pay (in some cases more than half of the cost of ser­vice) or does not pro­vide suf­fi­cient fund­ing to meet their ser­vice needs may apply for a schol­ar­ship to apply toward the co-​pay amounts or toward addi­tional services.

Schol­ar­ship recip­i­ents are required to pay some co-​pay rang­ing from $10.00 per week to $5.00 per hour. The par­ents of recip­i­ents may make arrange­ments with the office to pay the co-​pay by com­plet­ing vol­un­teer hours at the Cen­ter. Play­Date Behav­ioral Inter­ven­tions has achieved its goal of pro­vid­ing schol­ar­ship fund­ing for a min­i­mum of 20% of clients each year. This fig­ure varies in year and in past fis­cal years as many as 35% of clients have been pro­vided with full or par­tial schol­ar­ships.
