Managing Treatment Cost

banner image

Sometimes life circumstances can lead to tight financial resources and difficulty paying bills. If you have concerns or are having difficulty paying for your treatment please speak with a member of our staff or your clinician about options that may be available to you. There are several methods that may assist you in managing and/or reducing the cost of your mental health treatment. The following section includes solutions that may be available to you as well as recommendations to help you reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. 

1. Reduced length/frequency scheduling:

We can schedule reduced-length sessions, 30- or 45-minutes instead of 45- or 60-minutes, as these sessions are billed at a prorated fee. Reduced-length sessions are available for individual, family, and couples therapy sessions however, we do not offer reduced-length intake or group therapy sessions. We can also decrease the frequency of sessions, for example meeting every other week instead of weekly. 

**These options may not be best suited for all clients as reducing frequency, or meeting time, may not be clinically recommended.

2. Sliding fee scale (for income-eligible clients):

The sliding fee scale is available to income-eligible clients and eligibility is determined based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Income verification documents are required to apply and if approved applications are updated quarterly. If you'd like to apply to see if you are eligible for a reduced rate please contact our office by phone or email.

3. In-house flexible payment plans:

If you are unable to pay at the time of your session we offer flexible payment plans to any clients regardless of income eligibility. You decide the amount and frequency of payments and can pay with cash, check, credit or debit card. Payment amounts can differ and can be scheduled as recurring payments or on set dates. Please be aware, there is a finance fee of $25/5% (whichever is greater) every 30 days a balance remains. Please be aware, scheduling additional sessions will be put on hold for individuals with balances of $700 or greater.
