CASH ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Many individuals cannot access eating disorder treatment due to prohibitive financial barriers. Even those with insurance often cannot access their benefits due to high deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and copays.
Project HEAL offers one-time cash assistance grants to individuals who are able to demonstrate financial need so that they can access the care they need and deserve. This cash assistance is disbursed directly to service providers specializing in eating disorders, eating disorder treatment programs, insurance companies, or corporations such as airlines or grocery store e-gift cards.
Costs that are prioritized by the Cash Assistance Program:
Deductibles
Co-pays
Travel to care (ex. flights, gas cards)
Other costs may be considered, pending the availability of funds. Please take a look at our cash assistance application to learn more and apply for support.
Costs that are not covered by the Cash Assistance Program:
Entire treatment episodes at higher levels of care (instead apply for the Treatment Placement Program for free or low-cost treatment through one of our HEALers Circle partners)
Debt incurred from treatment previously received
Non-ED related treatment providers
“I signed up for the groups you sent to me and I can’t thank you enough for that, it gives me a sliver of relief as I wrestle with my upheaval. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I deeply appreciate the cash assistance that Project HEAL is able to provide; this will significantly reduce the financial burden of receiving PHP treatment.”
