If you have health insurance, the cost of care will depend on your individual insurance policy. We work with all forms of insurance in Montana, including Montana Medicaid/Healthy Montana Kids/CHIP. If you do not have health insurance, or choose not to use it, cash-pay options are available and will depend on the kind of therapy your child receives.
