Wellspring New York can cost as little as $99 a month – less than the cost of of gym membership, while offering proven long-term success for weight loss and weight control.

Reimbursement of Fees from Insurance

Thanks to the clinical component of Wellspring, many Wellspring families are successful in recouping approximately 1/4th to 1/3 of camp tuition from their health insurance.

Typically, families with PPO plans are more likely to receive reimbursement for a portion of the clinical component of the program (as much as $2,000 for a 4-week session, and $3,500 for an 8-week session). Families with HMO's should generally not expect to receive reimbursement, though we encourage families to advocate with payors for children's health whenever possible.

Wellspring submits statements for the cost of the clinical program to your health insurance through Wellspring’s insurance billing agent. While most families are successful in recouping a significant portion of the cost of the program from their health insurance,  Wellspring cannot guarantee that your policy will reimburse these costs. Please contact Wellspring Admissions at 866-364-0808 before contacting your health insurance.

Pay Tuition over a Longer Period

Wellspring has relationships with a a range of lending organizations that can provide easy and responsive loan programs for families seeking to fund a summer at Wellspring New York for their daughter.  Loans are available to all Wellspring families. These loans can cover the entire camp tuition + fees, including transportation to and from camp.  They feature low interest rates and deferral of payments for up to 6 months. These loans also have no prepayment penalties or cancellation fees.

Families who take advantage of the Wellspring loan program find that the cost of 4 weeks at Wellspring can be as little as $99 per month.

Because the loan qualification and application process can be confusing, we recommend that all Wellspring families work with our partner organization, Clark Custom Loans.  Clark will guide families through the application process, offering competitive rates and quick response.

Refundable Fees

Wellspring asks families to pay for two important aspects of the Wellspring New York program:  Family Workshop and Continuing Care.  However, both these fees are FULLY refunded to families for participation in the Workshop and in the Continuing Care program.  This is Wellspring’s way of saying thanks and helping ensure your daughter is successful years after camp ends.

Family Workshop: $300
This fee is refunded in full if one family member attends the Workshop, offered on visiting weekend and the concluding weekend, twice over the course of the summer.

Three-month Continuing Care Program: $500
This fee is refunded if the Wellspring New York participant completes the program successfully.  Successful completion of the Continuing Care program is defined as logging at least three food items, along with calories and fat grams, in the online self-monitoring journal at least 70 of the 90 days following camp.

ALL participants are encouraged to continue using this program, and to stay in contact with their Behavioral Coach from camp, after this three month period.  In fact, campers have a full YEAR of continuing care available to ensure they are maintaining or continuing weight loss at home.
