4 Please send completed form to: CooperRiis, 101 Healing Farm Lane Mill Spring, NC Family Form for Application to CooperRiis..Continued We will offer our private, not-for-profit, professionally staffed program for a reasonable fee. CooperRiis has been built entirely from private philanthropy and continues to attract donations so that need-based rate reductions may also be offered after the first three months of residency to families who are unable to pay our standard fee. We ask that you read, answer and agree to statements a) through e). Please initial all that apply As parent(s), guardian, or spouse, of,, I (we) Applicant s Name a) Agree to pre- pay CooperRiis monthly program fee of $19,500 for the first month, plus a refundable security and incidental expense deposit of $1,000, upon admission, noting that the maximum monthly standard fee reduces to $15,500 as of the fourth month of residency. I (we) understand that fees are to be pre-paid on a monthly basis, from the day of arrival and that no refund allowances will be made for early discharges. Charges are also not reduced when a resident is away from the campus for trips home, for hospitalization, or vacations. In order to qualify for a rate reduction, the full rate of $19,500 must be paid for the first three months. Financial Assistance Explanation: After three months of residency, the standard rate reduces to $15,500 for all families. Parents, spouse or guardians, who are unable to sustain payments of the $15,500 standard monthly fee after the first three months of full rate, may seek a rate reduction. We will strive to meet the family s financial circumstances, especially for those residents who are demonstrating a strong commitment to their recovery. CooperRiis seeks to offer rate reductions based on the financial situation of the resident, of his or her parents (even if divorced), and/or of the resident s spouse or life partner (if there is one). If a reduced rate is set, pre-payments on a monthly basis will still be expected. Rate reductions will be limited to six month increments at each level of the program. As parent(s), guardian, spouse and/or life partner, of the applicant, I (we) [Please initial one]: b) Wish to notify CooperRiis that I (we) will seek a rate reduction at the appropriate time, or c) Do not expect that I (we) will seek a rate reduction, although I (we) do not waive my (our) right to re-consider this option later.

We will encourage the applicant to sign release of information forms that will authorize us to keep you fully informed about his or her condition. We hope that we will only be bringing you positive news. Nonetheless, despite our best efforts, this may not always be so. We may even approach you at an inopportune time and ask that you pick up the applicant immediately because of medical, psychiatric, legal, or behavioral reasons. Since we are a voluntary program, this need may also arise if the applicant decides to leave CooperRiis. You may also be asked to come, if the applicant has required local hospitalization and is not returning to CooperRiis. d) As the individual or individuals willing to take responsibility for the applicant, I (we) agree to come for him or her at once, if the Chief Program Officer or Managing Director asks us to do so. e) I(we) agree to participate in CooperRiis Family Education programs, which include at least one on-site, three day experience and participation in an online education program.

I am aware that I (we) are responsible to seek any insurance reimbursement for services rendered. (CooperRiis will provide a bill with coding that may help you obtain re-imbursement from your medical insurance company.) Cane Creek Pharmacy: I (we) understand that it is likely that my (our) family member will receive psychiatric medications and CooperRiis orders these medications on behalf of my (our) family member from Cane Creek. Also understand that the Pharmacy has the ability to bill the bulk of the costs for the medications to public and private insurance, if my family member has access to this coverage. Understand that I (we) are obligated to pay for any medication costs that are not covered by any existing insurance coverage. Dietary Supplements: I (we) understand that sometimes residents are advised to take supplements in addition to their regular medications by our Psychiatrists and our nutritionist. If so, I agree to these extra costs. Personal Transportation: I (we) understand that residents sometime require personalized transportation to airports, doctor s appointments, internships, etc. and that I will be obliged to pay for these extra services Drug Screens: I (we) understand that residents with drug use/abuse histories are required to submit to regular random drug screens as deemed appropriate by their CooperRiis Treatment team. If my family member is required, I(we) agree to these extra costs. g) I(we) also understand that CooperRiis does not file claims with private insurance companies or Medicare or Medicaid.
