Can voucher recipients be reimbursed directly if their therapy provider does not accept vouchers?
Yes, voucher recipients can submit an invoice for their therapy session with proof of payment in order to be reimbursed directly by The Loveland Foundation.
What to do once you receive your Loveland vouchers
Once you receive your Loveland vouchers it is time to schedule your first appointment with a therapist. Before scheduling an appointment with a therapist make sure:
1. The therapist accepts Loveland vouchers (are willing to invoice us directly for your sessions).
2. Share our deck overview with them which will be sent along with the vouchers in an email. This deck will address most questions therapists have about the Therapy Fund and invoicing process.
3. After you have your therapy session, provide your therapist with the voucher number and the invoice payment form (sent in the voucher email).
4. Once your therapist submits the voucher we begin to process the invoice. Repeat this process until all vouchers have been used.
Can Vouchers be used for more than one therapist?
Finding a therapist is like dating. Sometimes it’s not a perfect match, so not all vouchers in a set have to be used with the same licensed therapist. If one licensed therapist does not work out feel free to use the remaining vouchers with a different one.
How can I receive additional vouchers?
Once a participant has completed the use of their 4th voucher they will receive a closeout form. In that form, recipients can give us feedback about the voucher process and request additional vouchers. This process needs to be completed twice for a total of 12 vouchers.
Can you sign up someone else for therapy support?
We do not accept third-party sign-ups.
Prospective Therapy Fund recipients must sign themselves up for support via our website.
How to refer a potential voucher recipient to Loveland
Due to the high volume of applicants, Therapy Fund application processing and voucher assignment takes us a few weeks. Therefore we do not advise referring loved ones or friends who need immediate funds to pay for therapy. All potential recipients must sign themselves up for vouchers through our website. We do not accept third-party sign-ups.
