Policy regarding Consumer Fees
You are expected to pay for the services you receive according to your ability to pay. Mental Health services are supported by State and County funds. In order to maintain the services needed for Coos County residents, it is necessary to supplement these funds through fees. Fees are determined on a sliding scale based on your household’s gross monthly income and the number of dependents in your household. You are responsible for providing the Business Office proof of your income and notifying them of any changes in your financial situation. Your fee will be adjusted accordingly. No person otherwise eligible for services will be refused services because of an inability to pay.
PAYMENTS ARE DUE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE. No person otherwise eligible for services will be refused services because of an inability to pay.
If you have Medicaid or Oregon Health Plan coverage bring your medical card with you each time you come for service. If you have insurance coverage, your insurance company will be billed for the full cost of the services. You, however, are responsible only for your assigned fee.
The chart linked below shows the discounted fee you will be expected to pay if you provide proof of income and your insurance or assistance benefits do not cover the full cost of services. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the full balance due.
