All treatments will be paid out of pocket by the person seeking assistance, and reimbursed by the Bagtazo Foundation. This option is best for those with steady income seeking assistance.

All recipients are eligible for pre-approval of reimbursement before receiving treatment. This method will provide the total amount the Bagtazo Foundation is able to reimburse you prior to seeking treatment. If you wish to do this, you will still be responsible for paying out of pocket and will get reimbursed after each treatment. This option is best for those with steady, but very little disposable income seeking assistance.

The direct payment program is for those unable to pay for their treatments out of pocket. The direct payment program pays the treatment provider directly at the time of each treatment. Recipients of this program will be informed of the total amount the Bagtazo Foundation will pay for treatment in advance of seeking treatment. Direct Payment requires proof of income. This program also requires that there are enough funds available, so please check in with us to confirm.
