Apply for Financial Assistance
Please visit our Financial Assistance page to assess your payer source options and apply for services. Texas Workforce is recommended for those of working age (14+). SAILS is recommended for those unable to work or retired (must not have income above and beyond SSDI). If going through a payer source, they will reach out to us once services have been approved to set up a Comprehensive Driving Evaluation.
We also accept CareCredit. Feel free to reach out directly if you do not qualify for payer sources and would like to discuss your Private Pay options.
