The purpose of the program is to make our psychological services available to those who financially need them, specifically for those who are uninsured, underinsured, and those facing financial hardship.
Your request for reduced fee services is on the basis of an “honor system” relationship between you and Healing Spaces. It is expected that you notify us if your ability to pay more has changed. As you can make incremental increases in the number of your payments, other clients who also have specific financial circumstances may then be able to benefit from the reduced fee position you have made available
While we will do our best to accommodate all, specific requests for reduced fee services will be evaluated based on client needs and the percentage of reduced fee positions that are available at the time of the request. To accommodate requests, services will likely be provided by supervised therapists (e.g., interns). However, many of our licensed clinicians also provide a number of discount services each year.
Regardless of your financial circumstances, you are entitled to the full benefits of services (e.g., therapy, parent training, assessment). In fact, your clinician will be unaware of your financial agreement, as they do not have access to billing information or billing arrangements. Regardless, Healing Spaces maintains a commitment to support equitable treatment and we encourage you to talk to us directly or email us at info@healingspacesstl.com if our practice seems to be out of alignment with our commitment.
Please note that by law, reduced fees may not be combined with insurance payments or applied to a co-pay, co-insurance, deductible, or out-of-pocket calculation. To seek direct reimbursement through a health insurance policy, you must pay the full fee per session at the time of service.
To request services, please complete the following questionnaire. Please note that questions asked about demographic information are to ensure that we are equitably serving clients from marginalized and diverse backgrounds.
