SAYLORSBURG, Pa., June 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care
Center has announced that they now offer young women in need of
Residential eating disorder care in-network coverage with UPMC
Health Plan. Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center's Clinical
Director and Founder, Erica Butler, notes, "Eating Disorder
treatment can be hard to find, and when you do find a facility that
can meet your family's needs, it can be especially challenging to
navigate care if they aren't in-network with your insurance
provider. We are thrilled to continue to give families access to
exceptional eating disorder care without the financial barriers. As
a Western Pennsylvania native, I
am so proud that it will now be easier to provide care to those
insured by the largest carrier in that region. We want to thank
UPMC for their commitment throughout the process and their
investment in high quality healthcare for their members." In
addition to UPMC, Blue Ridge is in-network with Highmark Blue Cross
Blue Shield, Geisinger Health Plan, Cigna Healthcare, and
Aetna.
Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center is an in-network
Residential treatment facility for young women ages 12-17 with a
primary diagnosis of an eating disorder serving patients
in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.
"While we are rural and situated in pastoral Saylorsburg, we
have families travel from all over the country due to our
adolescent specific programming and warm homelike setting," says
Butler.
Nearly 30 million Americans will experience an eating disorder
in their lifetime, and about 30% of those are adolescents. Blue
Ridge is committed to the recovery of young women with disordered
eating and offers individualized treatment for girls diagnosed with
ARFID, Anorexia, Bulimia, OSFED, and other disordered eating
presentations.
The priority at Blue Ridge is to provide young women with
nutritional therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, medication
management, educational support, and medical care while they build
relationships with their peers and staff. At Blue Ridge, families
are their main focus, and the team believes that long-lasting
recovery is built on a collaborative approach that is family
focused. The team notes that their home like environment utilizes
expressive therapies tailored to the needs of young women, which is
vital to finding freedom from disordered eating.
