Payment & Cost Information
True North Recovery is dedicated to making treatment accessible. They strongly encourage all potential clients to apply for Alaska Medicaid, which can cover the full cost of care. Below are the primary payment options available.
Insurance Options
Strongly Recommended: Apply for Medicaid
If you qualify for and use Alaska Medicaid, your treatment at True North Recovery will be 100% covered. You will not receive a bill. Our admissions team can assist you with the eligibility and application process to ensure you can access this benefit.
Using Private Insurance
True North Recovery accepts most private insurance plans on an out-of-network basis.
If you have both private insurance and Medicaid, we will bill your private plan first. Medicaid will then be used as the secondary payer to cover remaining balances, meaning you still likely will not see a bill.
Self-Pay & Sliding Scale
For clients without any insurance coverage, a self-pay option is available. The final cost is determined only after a full clinical assessment is completed.
-
Base Rate Estimate:
The approximate self-pay cost is $20,000 per month before any discounts are applied.
-
Sliding Fee Scale:
A significant discount (ranging from 20% to 80%) is applied based on your household's net income (after taxes and bills).
-
Final Quote:
You are only billed if you are a self-pay client. An exact quote cannot be provided until an assessment is conducted to determine your financial eligibility and recommended levels of care.
