All Families
The cost of the RDI® Program varies from consultant to
consultant. Fees range from $6500-$9500 per year per child,
considerably less expensive than other interventions.
Please click here for The Hope Source 2009 Fee Schedule.
To help our families afford the program, The Hope Source
offers monthly payments for a year of services.
Most families with private insurance have been successful
at receiving reimbursement for RDI® Program services. The
Hope Source will create a treatment plan for your physician
to sign and be submitted to your insurance company. The
first payment is due from family in order to begin services
or to secure place on waiting list, while waiting for approval
from insurance.
Please note: The Hope Source is more than willing to
help you get coverage, but it is the responsibility of the
client to obtain authorization and ensure reimbursement
or payment.
Indiana Families
The Indiana Autism Mandate has helped families get reimbursement
for RDI® services, some families excluded from the mandate
are getting reimbursed for RDI® services. Your employer
determines eligibility for the mandate. If you company is
not based in Indiana or is self-insured, the mandate does
not apply. However, please contact your Human Resources
department for assistance.
We suggest that you include a copy of the mandate when submitting
to your insurance for approval. Please follow this link
for mandate details:

For individuals with the BDDS Support Services Waiver, the
$2000 “Family and Caregiver Training” monies can be used
for RDI® services.
Kentucky and Ohio Families
Kentucky also has an autism mandate.
Kentucky and Ohio families have been successful in receiving
reimbursement for RDI Program services. In order to receive
“in-network” status for Hope Source services, the family
must demonstrate that there is no other Certified Consultant
in the state or within a certain radius.
Established by the Ohio General Assembly in June 2003, the
Ohio Autism Scholarship Program provides funds to parents
of qualified special education children. It provides the
opportunity for parents to choose a different implementer
of the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) other
than the child’s school district of residence. The scholarship
funds shall be used only to pay for services outlined on
the child’s IEP. The maximum amount of the scholarships
is $20,000 per school year.
The Hope Source, Inc. has contracted with North Coast Tutoring
in order to provide RDI® Program services under the Scholarship.
