    Travel Arrangements

    Our team of Recovery Advocates can help arrange your travel so that you arrive on time and safely at The Recovery Village Kansas City. Patients can book their travel, or we can help them coordinate plans. Our team can also help arrange pick-up to and from the airport or train or bus stations.

    Insurance and Your Obligations During Treatment

    Nearly all health insurance plans require you to pay some out-of-pocket costs in order to access your healthcare benefits (collectively, the “Patient Responsibility”). Your individual Patient Responsibility will vary. 

    A staff member will review your Patient Responsibility with you when you’re admitted or as soon as you are medically stable. They will explain the deductible is due during admission and that the co-insurance amount and out-of-pocket balance will be billed and paid for once services are complete. Onsite financial counselors will review your financial responsibility again during treatment with case managers, who can also help you navigate FMLA.

    It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider prior to admitting at The Recovery Village Kansas City to understand your individual benefits plan. Please note that your insurance plan may not be a “participating provider” with The Recovery Village Kansas City. You are responsible for all non-covered and out-of-pocket costs related to your treatment stay.

    Upon arrival at The Recovery Village Kansas City, each patient is given the opportunity to complete all necessary releases of information to allow staff to discuss important information with necessary others for continuity of care. No information will be disclosed to any party without prior written consent of the patient, following all HIPAA guidelines and requirements.
