Frequently asked questions
What if I don't have insurance – how much will medication cost?
We use programs like GoodRx to bring the cost of some medications down to about $40/week.
Exact costs will vary based on your location and pharmacy options.
If I self-pay now but my health insurance starts to cover Boulder Care, can I use insurance to pay for the program?
Yes. It's your choice on how and when you’d like to use insurance (or not).
We'll always let you know if and when our program is covered by your insurance.
Does the program require a commitment for a certain amount of time?
No. The program is about you and the care that works best for you and your goals.
Many participants choose to remain within care for 12 months or more, but there is no minimum or maximum amount.
Can I use my insurance to cover the cost of any medications?
Yep, you sure can. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of medications we typically prescribe.
Can I use an HSA/FSA to pay for Boulder Care, even if it's not covered by my insurance?
Yes. We accept HSA/FSA funds for payment, regardless of whether Boulder is in-network with your insurance.
According to the IRS, you can use your HSA/FSA to pay for eligible medical expenses, including doctors' visits, prescribed medications, and long-term care services.
If you have additional questions for us, call us or schedule a call at a time that works for you.
I love Boulder–the convenience, the privacy of being in my own home, the relationship I have built with my peer coach. It is all life changing. — Boulder Patient
