Project Heal Help To Eat Accept and Live

Project Heal offers our beneficiaries free treatment through our healers circle members. We have the largest network of facilities and providers at every level of care including inpatient, residential, partial-hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment centers as well as eating disorder specialized therapists, dietitians, and coaches. Through these partnerships, we are the only major nonprofit in the u.s. providing access To free treatment To individuals with eating disorders who are uninsured or underinsured.

Many individuals with insurance cannot access their benefits due To high deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and copays. We offer one-time cash assistance To individuals who are able To demonstrate financial need so that they can unlock their benefits and access treatment through their insurance. We can also pay for travel costs and other tertiary expenses associated with going To treatment. In 2022 we disbursed $52,959 To cover these costs for our beneficiaries.

The current healthcare system in the u.s. Regularly and unfairly denies coverage for eating disorder treatment at the appropriate level of care that someone struggling needs To recover. Project Heal's insurance navigation specialists and resource guides Help individuals understand their often confusing insurance benefits and advocate on their behalf To get their treatment covered. Investing in insurance navigation allows us To exponentially increase the number of beneficiaries that we serve each month and utilizes the benefits that someone is entitled To by law. In 2022 our insurance navigation volunteer specialists logged 690 hours of support.
