Excellent care at 1/3 the cost
Cartwheel braids together funding from students' health insurance with funding from the school district. As a result, we help school districts deliver excellent care at 1/3 the cost.
What insurance pays
Health insurance covers ~66% of the cost of Cartwheel. Families with Medicaid have zero out-of-pocket costs, and we are an in-network healthcare benefit for all other families. We handle all logistics related to insurance on behalf of schools and families.
What school districts pay
School districts cover the remaining ~33% of costs. This supports key parts of our program that lead to great care but aren't funded by health insurance: Ongoing collaboration with school staff, case management for students, parent education, and more.
