Insurance Coverage & Payment for Services
The Rainbow Project will never turn away a family that does not have insurance or cannot pay for services. We believe that everyone should be given the care they need, regardless of their current socio-economic standing and will therefore use alternative funding sources to cover those families’ costs for services.
The Rainbow Project is currently able to accept BadgerCare (Title 19); BadgerCare-GHC; BadgerCare-Dean; Group Health Cooperative; Dean Health Care; BadgerCare-Quartz; and Quartz. To inquire about other insurance plans, please contact our Referral Coordinator. A referral and/or prior authorization from your insurance provider may be required to be seen at The Rainbow Project. Deductibles and co-pays may also be issued by your insurance company depending on your plan.
The Rainbow Project uses a sliding fee scale for those who do not have insurance and for those who have insurance that does not cover services at the Rainbow Project. Inquire about payments and insurance options when connecting with our Referral & Community Programs Coordinator.
How to Refer a Child to Us
Children and families are referred to The Rainbow Project from a variety of sources, including self-referrals, daycare centers, schools, the court system, hospitals, law enforcement, Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS), mental health specialists, alcohol/drug abuse treatment programs, Dane County Department of Human Services, legal advocates, the District Attorney’s Office and other community organizations.
To make a referral for a child or family, please contact the Referral Coordinator during current business hours: referrals@therainbowproject.net or 608-255-7356, ext. 316.
The Rainbow Project strives to link people in need with the most appropriate services possible. This may mean that Rainbow staff will refer individuals to another agency for treatment if factors such as location, age of the child, length of the waiting list and insurance coverage could impact the proper and timely delivery of services here at Rainbow.
