Billing:

NCEFT is a private-pay facility. NCEFT accepts cash (exact change), check, or credit card for payments. We do not accept payments from insurance carriers, including Medicare or Medical, or payments through regional centers / third parties. NCEFT is also unable to process payments from FSA/HSA cards.

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 week of February. 

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! NCEFT also offers automatic credit card payments for services – there is no additional fee to utilize this option. 

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.

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

How to Apply for Financial Assistance:

  1. Fill out a financial assistance application during the onboarding process, after applying online and connecting with your therapist or instructor to begin sessions.
  2. Return the financial assistance application and the all requested forms and information to NCEFT by email (admin@nceft.org), in-person, or by mail:

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.
