Sliding Scale Fees

Sliding scale fees are fees for services that are adjusted based on an individual’s household income. If you have insurance coverage, the insurance carrier will be billed for the charges. Clients that do not have health insurance coverage will be eligible for the sliding scale. Sliding scale fees provide increased financial accessibility to mental health care by lowering service fees to accommodate a client who has a lower income.
