PROGRAM PAYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Renaissance Discovery House Inc., the governing body of Recovery Works was incorporated as a non-profit, public benefit corporation, and received its 501 (c) (3) Federal tax exemption in 2018. Unfortunately, Recovery Works receives no government aide at this time. Therefore, the above mentioned fees are required. All service fees will have been properly allocated and absorbed at the end of 30 days.

HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE

Some individuals have health insurance coverage that may pay for all or a portion of the Recovery Works program. When health insurance is involved, Recovery Works requires that the responsibility of the program payment be arranged with the program financier according to an agreed upon payment plan. Recovery Works agrees to aid in insurance filing. However, it is also your responsibility to contact your insurance company and follow up with them.

REFUNDS

Refunds will be considered under the following circumstances:

  1. If a client, after the program fee is paid, fails to be admitted to the program, he or she will be entitled to receive a repayment of the unused fee.

  2. If a client is discharged from the program as the result of an inability to complete the program for medical reasons, he or she may be entitled to some repayment.

  3. If incomplete data (such as Psychiatric History) is obtained at the time of registration and the client is ultimately found to be ineligible due to clinical information obtained later, he or she may be entitled to a repayment.

Once a person has started the program the total fee amount is considered fully earned (allocated) and is thereafter non-refundable. We understand unforeseeable events happen in life. Some clients must leave the program for other reasons than mentioned above. Recovery Works will upon written request consider partial refunds. If partial repayment is agreed upon by Executive Director it must be reviewed by the Board of Directors of Renaissance Discovery House Inc, the governing body of Recovery Works. No Refund amounts which have not been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors can be considered due or payable. Please allow up to 90 days for repayment once approval has been granted.
