Accessible care for everyone
Ridgeline uses a structured sliding-scale formula designed to reflect what a household can realistically afford after core living expenses. We consider income, major monthly expenses, number of income earners, dependents, and certain benefit situations so that fees are based on actual financial capacity rather than a one-size-fits-all rate.
Understanding our sliding scale & fees
We are dedicated to providing high-quality care coordination services to neurodivergent individuals and families across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia, regardless of their financial situation. Our unique sliding scale model ensures that what you pay is based on what you can realistically afford.
How we determine your fee
At Ridgeline Care Network, fees are based on what someone can realistically afford, not on market rates. We consider several key factors to ensure fair and accessible pricing:
- Household income: Your total household earnings play a significant role.
- Fixed income or government benefits: We account for individuals on Social Security, Medicaid, or other government assistance.
- Family size: The number of dependents in your household is a factor.
We believe access to care coordination should not be a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. We never turn someone away because they cannot pay full price, and we work with clients on fixed incomes or with no income at all.
The biggest benefit for our clients
The most significant advantage of our sliding scale is that clients actually receive the help they desperately need. Many individuals who most require care coordination are precisely those who can least afford it. This includes those on fixed incomes, navigating complex disability systems, or stretched thin caring for a neurodivergent family member.
Our sliding scale effectively removes the financial barrier that would otherwise prevent them from seeking crucial support. Every client receives the same high quality of service, the same dedicated attention, and the same passionate advocacy, regardless of what they pay. At Ridgeline Care Network, nobody receives less because they pay less.
