Payment:

NCEFT is a private-pay facility. We accept the following forms of payment:

  • Cash (exact change)
  • Check
  • Credit card
  • Payments through regional centers

Please note that we do not accept insurance, including Medicare or Medi-Cal, and we are unable to process payments from FSA/HSA cards.

We ask that clients pay their invoice in full by the 10th of each month for the previous month’s sessions. Prompt payment is greatly appreciated! For your convenience, NCEFT offers automatic credit card payments at no additional fee.

Insurance:

Clients who wish to use their insurance may submit copies of their paid invoice to their carrier for reimbursement. A questionnaire is provided in the intake packet which you can use to verify what your insurance may cover. A monthly “superbill” will be provided with the previous month’s sessions in the first week of the following month. For example, a superbill with January’s sessions will be emailed to you the first day of the following month, or the closest weekday to that. 

Financial Assistance:

NCEFT provides financial assistance in amounts of 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of session fees. Financial assistance is determined utilizing the HUD housing and income limits for the area you reside. To verify total income level, place of residence, and number of family members, we will request yearly income for all members of your household, the most recent tax return (for all members of your household), and any other Government Assistance, Spousal/child Support Income, SSI Income, or Unemployment Income, with all supporting documentation or letters of benefits verification. If you are applying for financial assistance for a dependent, the dependent must be listed on the tax return that you provide. Financial Assistance forms are included in client intake packets and awards are reviewed annually.

Note – U.S. Veterans and First Responders only need to provide proof of service to qualify for 100% financial assistance.

NCEFT: HORSES. HOPE. HEALING.

Horses. Hope. Healing. Three simple words that, when combined, have the power to transform lives. NCEFT is centered around helping people. We are about compassion, inclusiveness, and offering the highest level of service to those in need. We do this by harnessing the unique connection between horses and humans. NCEFT is also about community. Many of our clients and families describe NCEFT as a place that feels like home with people who feel like family.
