How much does your program cost?

Please call our office for information about our current fees. Self-pay fees are $75 per week plus a one time intake fee.

Many insurance companies may cover part of the cost of the program; however we cannot guarantee that our services will be covered by any particular health insurance plan. Please call and confirm your own coverage as well as any requirements for pre-authorization. Ask your health insurance carrier if they cover "outpatient behavioral health" services at UCLA. We may enroll either the parent or the child as the patient, which ever is to your advantage.

The outpatient finance department will verify your insurance after you have submitted an enrollment packet.
