A MISSION FOR MICHAEL
We accept most major insurance providers and can check your coverage levels for you.
If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.Â
A Mission For Michael (AMFM) has mental health treatment facilities in California, Washington, and Virginia that offer comprehensive care for personality disorders, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). We utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to improve emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal dysfunction for those living with BPD.
In addition to BPD treatment programs, we provide treatment for various mental health and dual diagnosis conditions. Admission counselors at AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers can help you understand the costs of treatment and explore how to pay for a borderline personality disorder program. Dial (866)478-4383 today to learn more!
Nationwide studies have indicated that the prevalence of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in the general population falls between 0.7% and 2.7%. Most individuals begin to experience symptoms in early adulthood. The prevalence rate of BPD in outpatient treatment programs ranges from 11% to 12% and is approximately 22% of those in psychiatric programs.
Borderline personality disorder is more common among women than men and tends to have lasting functional impairment, particularly in terms of social recovery. However, over half of those who receive treatment experience remission five to 15 years after successful completion. The rate of suicide for those living with BPD is 5.9%, higher than the observed rates for other personality disorders. One research study indicated that three-quarters of those living with BPD have a history of at least one suicide attempt. Dual diagnosis is common among those living with BPD and can include other personality disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, and PTSD.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is known for contributing to intense emotional responses and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Those living with BPD often struggle with emotional dysregulation, mood instability, and impulsive behavior. Without treatment, BPD can be difficult to manage and lead to chronic emptiness and identity disturbance.
Mental health stigma surrounding borderline personality disorder is often fueled by misinformation and inaccurate depictions. BPD is often a trauma-related disorder that involves a fear of abandonment. Individual differences are common and can be found in the symptoms you experience and their intensity. Common BPD symptoms include:
Treatment for borderline personality disorder often includes psychotherapy and the use of psychiatric medications. Medications, including mood stabilizers, antidepressants, antianxiety medications, and antipsychotics, are used to treat specific symptoms. In addition to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another therapeutic approach used to treat BPD. These therapies can help you recognize the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This allows you to make decisions to change unhealthy thoughts and beliefs, leading to emotional and behavioral changes.
The Psychiatric Services Journal estimated that the cost of treatment for personality disorders falls between $12,696 and $19,231 per person annually. This number can fluctuate based on the intensity of the care provided, the duration of care, and the use of specialized treatment programs. Inpatient treatment programs have higher costs than outpatient programs, and medication management services incur additional expenses.
Research has indicated that those who receive treatment for BPD see an average decrease of $2,988 in their healthcare needs in the following years. These savings are an additional benefit to receiving proper mental healthcare treatment today.
The simplest way to lower the costs of borderline personality disorder programs is to use health insurance. Health insurance can reduce the cost of inpatient psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and prescription medications. You may still be responsible for some out-of-pocket costs like copayments or deductibles.
Other options would be to speak with your treatment provider about accessing sliding scale fees, grants, and other resources for funding mental health treatment. We encourage you to contact A Mission For Michael with specific questions about how to pay for borderline personality disorder mental health programming.
Health insurance plans typically include coverage for BPD evaluations, testing, and assessments. You may be responsible for some of the cost, depending on the details of your insurance plan. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with your plan (if applicable) so that you are fully aware of your benefits.Â
You can access a confidential and free BPD assessment by calling A Mission For Michael today. We’re proud to offer these complimentary evaluations as a component of our admission process. Allow us to match you with the proper treatment program. Our admission counselors can answer your specific questions about BPD evaluations, testing, and assessments, as well as how to pay for a borderline personality disorder mental health program.Â
Without health insurance, you have a few options for paying for BPD treatment. Look for nonprofit treatment providers in your area, as they typically offer affordable mental health care. You may be eligible to receive grants for mental health care based on your location and financial needs.
If you have chosen a private healthcare provider, you can inquire about available sliding scale therapy costs and other options for funding behavioral health treatment. Mental health payment plans can space your total expenses out over time, making them more budget-friendly. Call us today to speak with an AMFM representative about how to pay for borderline personality disorder programs.
You can pay out of pocket for your borderline personality disorder medications. This approach does generally have higher costs. However, you can look into patient assistance programs or government aid to reduce the costs of your medications. Consider using the generic version of your medications for further price reductions.
You can ask your prescriber about pharmaceutical company discounts or coupons that can reduce the cost of your BPD medications. Contact A Mission For Michael (AMFM) for further details.
Primary care physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants can prescribe medications for BPD. Prescriptions used to treat borderline personality disorder focus on symptom management or comorbid conditions, as there is no medication specifically approved to treat BPD. Mental health professionals are required to have certain educational and training experiences to provide medication management services.
It is not uncommon for prescribing professionals to recommend behavioral health treatment for those receiving or instead of medication management services. Many organizations, including the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), consider Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) the gold standard for treating BPD. In fact, many studies conclude that medications should be prescribed only as a supplement to psychotherapy.
Prescription drug coverage plans often cover an assortment of medications. This commonly includes medications used to treat borderline personality disorder symptoms or common co-occurring conditions. Prescription coverage does vary among insurance companies and may require prior authorization. We encourage you to review your plan for noted limitations or exclusions for name-brand drugs.
Verification with a healthcare provider like AMFM can help you understand the scope of your coverage and your out-of-pocket expenses for various borderline personality disorder treatments.Â
To pay for your prescription medications, you can utilize your health insurance coverage or pay out of pocket for your medications. Out-of-pocket expenses are often less when you use health insurance. In both situations, generic medications can help keep the prices of your medications down.Â

Medicaid and Medicare are governmental programs adept at financing psychiatric care for various mental health disorders. When paying out-of-pocket for borderline personality disorder care, depression treatment, or related, you may also be able to use payment plans and sliding scale fees to negotiate access to affordable mental health care.
If you have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), you may have access to subsidized mental health services, including borderline personality disorder treatments. You can also consider a medical credit card if you need additional cash flow to pay for copayments, deductibles, and other medical expenses.
Additional funding options include grants, scholarships, and community-based resources. These options can provide funding for some, if not all, of BPD treatment programs. This allows you to access the care you need to receive continued support for your emotional and psychological needs.Â
Personal financing options, including crowdfunding and loans, are additional options. Loved ones may be willing to offer loans or financial assistance. It’s essential to be honest and transparent when asking for financial support. You can also consider personal savings as a BPD therapy funding option.
Local charities and nonprofit organizations in your community may have grants for mental healthcare or financial aid for therapy services. They may also be able to tell you about affordable mental health care resources within your community. This can help you find local low-cost treatment options.
An important step in receiving coverage for BPD treatment is to familiarize yourself with the scope of your coverage. Do this by reviewing your policy documents.

Remember that insurance companies are required to offer some coverage for inpatient care and psychotherapy.

Yes! Most health insurance companies provide insurance coverage for therapy. This includes treatment for various personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder. Mental health insurance coverage is required by the 2010 Affordable Care Act. This legislation ensures funding for behavioral health treatment. Coverage rates and details do vary among different providers and plans.
Another detail to be mindful of regarding this legislation is the mental health parity laws. These ensure that you receive coverage despite prior mental health diagnoses and treatment episodes. This is important for those living with BPD because this condition often requires complex treatment. The admission counselors at AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers can help you understand the scope of your insurance coverage. Begin by completing our insurance verification form and call us today.Â
