Honest Numbers

Two lanes. Both transparent.

Treatment placement runs on commercial PPO and HMO insurance only. Every other Epic Journey service is cash-pay. We don't hide pricing, we don't play games with insurance, and we tell you the real numbers on the consult.

Two Lanes

How Epic Journey is paid for.

Lane One · Insurance

Treatment Placement

Accepts commercial PPO & HMO insurance only.

If you have a commercial PPO or HMO plan (Anthem, Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Magellan, Beacon, etc.), our treatment placement work is largely covered by the treatment center's insurance billing.

We verify your benefits free of charge before recommending any program. You'll know what your out-of-pocket exposure is before you commit.

  • Free benefits verification
  • Pre-authorization handled by the program
  • Real out-of-pocket estimate up front
  • Help with appeals when needed
Lane Two · Cash-Pay

Direct Services

Intervention, recovery coaching, family support, mentorship, and plant medicine integration are cash-pay only.

These services are not bill-able through insurance because they're not clinical treatment — they're high-touch coaching and direct human support. Pricing reflects the level of personal access, not the chair time.

  • Exact quotes given on the consult
  • Engagement structured in 3 or 6 month blocks
  • Payment plans available
  • No hidden fees, no add-ons
Insurance We Do Not Accept

Be upfront so no one wastes time.

For treatment placement, we do not work with:

Medicare — the federal program for adults 65+ and certain disabilities. The reimbursement structures and program networks don't align with the quality of facilities we refer to.

Medi-Cal / Medicaid — state-funded insurance. Same reason. There are state-funded resources available, and we'll point you toward them, but we don't place into Medi-Cal-accepting facilities.

Tricare — military insurance. There are excellent military-specific resources we'll refer you to, but Tricare placement isn't our network.

State-funded plans & county programs. If your only insurance option is a state plan, the public behavioral health system (Orange County BHS, LA DMH, San Diego County BH) has real resources and we will help you get oriented.

Real Ranges

What things actually cost.

Exact quotes are always given on the consult. These are honest ranges to set expectations.

Cash-Pay

Intervention

Quoted based on travel distance, family complexity, and prep time. Most engagements include pre-intervention family work, the day-of intervention, and safe transport to the chosen program.

Cash-Pay

Recovery Coaching & Mentorship

Structured in 3-month and 6-month engagements. Pricing reflects level of access — weekly 1:1 with Preston, text/call availability, family inclusion.

Cash-Pay

Family Coaching

Per-engagement pricing for parents, spouses, or siblings working through a loved one's addiction. Can run in parallel with treatment placement.

Cash + Insurance

Plant Medicine Integration

Epic Journey preparation + integration package (cash-pay) plus the partner facility cost. Partner facility costs range from $3,000–$20,000+ depending on facility, medicine, and duration.

The price of doing nothing is always higher than the price of getting honest help.
