Insurance and Funding Sources

Understanding your coverage

Insurance and funding can feel complicated. Our intake team will help you review your location, current availability, and possible coverage so you can understand the next steps before services begin.

How we help

Every plan and funding arrangement is different. We begin with your specific information rather than making assumptions about coverage.

1

Share your information

Tell us your location, insurance or funding source, and the type of support you are seeking.

2

We review the details

Our team considers service area, availability, possible network participation, and any next-step requirements.

3

We explain what comes next

We will respond within two business days with guidance about verification, documentation, and availability.

Sources we currently work with

Our relationships vary by state, plan, product, and service area. The list below includes commercial health plans, Medicaid-related programs, administrators, and regional funding systems.

Coverage must be verified

Participation may vary by plan, product, service area, and location. Coverage requires verification and may be subject to eligibility, medical-necessity criteria, referral requirements, prior authorization, and service availability. Please contact our intake team so we can review your specific situation.

Language assistance is available

Please tell our intake team about your family's preferred language and communication needs. We will help coordinate available support, which may include a multilingual Footprints team member or qualified interpretation and translation services. Availability and arrangements may vary by location and health plan. When language assistance is required, it is provided at no cost to the family.

Resources for families

These organizations are independent of Footprints. We share them because families have found them useful when navigating coverage and funding.
