Financial Assistance

Vail Health Behavioral Health does not want finances to prevent anyone from receiving the behavioral health services they want or need. We partner with a variety of organizations to ease financial constraints. Some organizations help with everyday expenses or unexpected medical bills, while others can offer financial assistance to pay for behavioral health services. Explore the options below for more information.
