ESA & Choice
Eligible
The seal above is a visual promise, not a legal document. Actual ESA and school-choice reimbursement follow the rules of your state program — but Vitae's services are structured to be claimable where you are eligible.
A Note from the Curator
The medieval Latin phrase letters patent (litterae patentes) named a royal or ecclesial document that remained open for public inspection, granting a specific privilege to a specific recipient. Our analogy is precise: a state ESA or school-choice grant is, in effect, a modern letter patent — a public authorization that the family can hold up and use. This page is our attempt to tell you, honestly, where Vitae fits.

Movement V · Questions
ESA & Special Needs Questions
Vitae Health clinical services are structured to qualify as reimbursable educational expenses under Arizona ESA and Wisconsin school-choice programs. The specific approval pathway for each family depends on their program, their student's eligibility, and the particular service requested. We confirm in advance.
Yes — both to enroll and as a clinical option. Arizona's ESA is universally available to K–12 students; Wisconsin's SNSP is available to students with disabilities attending participating schools. Our sister organization Virtualis operates ESA-eligible campuses in Arizona and participates in Wisconsin's school-choice programs.
We help you understand why. If the service was educational and your student is eligible, denials often result from documentation gaps that can be fixed. If a service truly is not eligible, we will have told you that before the visit and discussed the out-of-pocket fee with you in advance.
On launch, yes — as a core academic subject. ESA programs treat K–12 core curricula (mathematics, English language arts, science, social studies, health) as qualifying educational expenses. Vitae Formation is structured as a core subject in health, in line with state standards. Until the curriculum launches, this is forward-looking.
For qualifying services in Wisconsin, yes — subject to SNSP provider approval and your student's eligibility. We will work with you and your school to meet documentation requirements.
