Funding/Cost
If you have medical insurance benefits, we will use those to cover what they will cover, and then our donor funds cover any other medical costs within the Shepherd Center continuum of care. For example, Tricare will pay for physical, occupational and speech therapy, neurologist exams and behavioral health services. However, Tricare does not cover group therapy, recreation therapy, community outings and various other services we provide. That’s where donor funds come in to ensure that you never see a bill from Shepherd Center. If we have to refer you to an outside specialist, our case managers will work closely with you to determine how it will be covered.
