Waivers and Service Plans

If your child is on a waiver (CES/SLS), your Community Center Board (CCB), such as Developmental Pathways, Rocky Mountain Human Services, Envision, etc., can dedicate respite funds in your child’s Annual Service Plan towards the cost of camp.

Respite funding is available for the Early Start, Mountain Therapy, and Adventure camp programs. This funding for both the Early Start and Therapy programs typically covers a portion of the program but not the full balance.  Funding is available for Adventure Camp and is billed under Group Overnight Respite. Most of the time, CCB’s do cover the full cost of camp. The Developmental Disabilities (DD) waiver does not cover camp, so make sure that you have the correct waiver completed.

If you are new to Adam’s Camp and plan to enroll, reach out to your case manager and tell them your plans. Adam’s Camp does require a copy of your child’s service plan that shows Adam’s Camp listed as a provider with the specified number of units and your child’s Medicaid information. All waiver funding comes from Medicaid dollars, even if you did not realize your child had a Medicaid number. Depending on your situation and the resources your CCB has, you may be able to get a large portion or all of camp paid for – it just takes some work on the front end!

Service plans and Medicaid ID numbers are absolutely required 21 days in advance of your camp’s start date. Failure to provide your child’s service plan/Medicaid ID ahead of the deadline will result in you being billed directly for the cost of camp.

Other CCB Funding for Camp

Community Centered Boards may have additional resources to dedicate towards your child/family’s trip to camp. When working with your child’s case manager, inquire about Family Support Service and Mill Levy fundings that may be available. This funding is not listed in your child’s service plan, and you will need to have your case manager contact us to confirm these additional funds will be applied to your child’s balance.

Paying for Camp

Private Insurance

Private Insurance may cover a small portion of Early Start and Therapy program camps. If you have met your deductible for the year, your insurance company may cover the out-of-network rate for the billable hours of speech, occupational, and physical therapy. When you register for camp, provide us with your insurance policy & carrier information. At that time, Adam’s Camp will contact your carrier to verify coverage. If your carrier denies coverage because you are out-of-network deductible has not been met, you are responsible for paying for camp up front. In the event that your family meets your deductible before you come to camp, we will bill your insurance as applicable and reimburse you any funds received from your carrier.
