Financial Information

At Horizons Mental Health Center we are committed to the success of your treatment and care.  Please understand that payment of your bill is part of this treatment and care process. 

 

For your convenience, we have answered a variety of commonly asked financial and office policy questions.  If you need further information about any of these policies, our Patient Account Representatives will be more than happy to answer any questions and will assist you in the application process. For more information, please call (620) 663-7595.

 

We accept payment by cash, check, VISA, MasterCard or Discover.  

 

You will be financially responsible for all insurance co-pays at the time of service, depending on the type of insurance plan you have.  If you do not have insurance you will be enrolled in our Managed Service Plan and may apply for placement in our Sliding Fee Scale program for self-pay consumers.  We will also help you set up a payment plan for the services you receive.

 

The Sliding Fee Scale is for consumers without any insurance to receive services regardless of their ability to pay. The Sliding Fee Scale is based upon household income and family size. Therefore, HMHC will need to verify your household income in order to set your fee and payment plan. Your eligibility for the Sliding Fee Scale will be reevaluated each year. Please note that psychological testing service fees are not eligible for the Sliding Fee discount.

 

Household income can be verified by an Income Tax Return, pay stub, W-2 or statements from SRS or Social Security regarding any assistance you may be receiving.

 

You will have 30 days to provide proof of income. If you provide the requested documentation within 30 days, your fee will be discounted based on the Sliding Fee Scale. If you do not provide proof of income within 30 days, all charges for service will be based on Full Fee.

 

The Managed Service Plan (MSP) allows consumers with little or no means to pay for services to receive them. Consumers in the MSP will be placed on our Sliding Fee Scale that is based on household income and family size. The fee will be set and the consumer will be asked to pay a co-payment based on the percentage discount awarded. The consumer will be billed monthly for any remaining part of the fee. The MSP allows the consumer to receive 6 hours of therapy and/or medication services. When the 6 hours of services have been used, the consumer will discuss with their service provider whether ongoing services are medically necessary.

 

A patient account representative will discuss with you what part of our services will be covered by your insurance and what will be your responsibility. A patient account representative will also work with you to develop a payment plan for the portion of charges that will be your responsibility.

 

All patients are expected to make a good-faith effort to pay on their account monthly. However, if no payments have been made in a 90-day period of time, your account will be turned to the Kansas Set-Off Program and/or a collection agency for collection.
