Cost is usually the first thing that stops people from calling. It sits quietly under every other question: is this going to work, will my child get better, can we actually afford to try. That worry is real, and it deserves a real answer, not a vague “insurance may vary” line buried in fine print.
Here’s the honest answer: most families we work with do find a way to use their insurance here, and it usually costs less than people expect once someone walks them through it.
A little about how we work, and why: Hilltop keeps caseloads small on purpose. Your therapist isn’t managing forty other clients between sessions. That’s a deliberate choice, and it’s part of why insurance works a little differently here than you might be used to, in a good way, once it’s explained.
That approach is why Atlantic Health System designates Hilltop as their top outside choice for eating disorder care, ahead of their own network, when an employee needs specialized treatment they want care for. If you’re an Atlantic Health employee, that recognition often translates into real coverage. And if you’re a Princeton University student, our Clinical Director can be considered in-network with Princeton’s student health plan directly, no reimbursement paperwork required.
For everyone else, most families use one of a few paths: full reimbursement after each session, a reduced rate through a Single Case Agreement or Gap Exception, or simply asking us to check their benefits for them. You don’t need to know which one applies before reaching out. That part is ours to carry, not yours.

We get many calls from people who report that the quality of care they received from non-specialists and/or large online companies is not on par with their needs. Often, such therapists are burnt out, required to have a caseload of 40-50 clients per week. Insurance companies place their own requirements on those therapists, dictating what to focus on and who to prioritize. They don’t even know who you are and what’s going on in your life. If they are indeed specialists, a caseload that size doesn’t leave room to coordinate and support the care management recovery actually requires.
We truly believe you get what you pay for.
We go out of our way to connect with your care team, or help create the A-List team you deserve.
