(Ohio laws changed regarding number of times patients need to be seen as well as counseling mandates as of December 23, 2018.)
FOR NEW PATIENTS:
- Initial Evaluation and first month of treatment, which includes weekly* visits, will cost $250 (This is our normal monthly fee of $225 PLUS a one-time $25 intake fee for evaluation, assessment, and initial paperwork).
- You will be charged $175 for your first week's visit. The second week visit will be $75. Subsequently, every 28 day visit thereafter will be $225 (this includes transfer patients.)
- After month one*, you will then go to bi-weekly visits up to 90 days*. Subsequently, from then on you will be seen every 28 days until completion of treatment, or unless you are deemed at risk and need more frequent visits. (The normal monthly fee is $225 no matter how often you are seen.) *If you are transferring from another provider, your visits may be less frequent initially. Please ask your provider!
- Most insurance companies will cover the cost of medication, depending on dosage. We can assist you with this and provide you with information at your visit. Coupons for certain medications are available at the front desk. Please allow up to 3 days for insurance approvals of prior authorization requests if your insurance requires one. In many cases, this can happen much quicker.
- New Ohio laws require counseling as part of your medication-assisted treatment program (plus, it greatly insures your long-term success.) As of March 1st, 2019 each session is $50. Initially, each patient MUST receive monthly counseling for at least six months. After this time, it can be determined that less strict counseling may be required if compliance and clean urine screens are consistent. This will be determined by the counselor and doctors. If you do not wish to do counseling here, you may seek out another licensed mental health professional elsewhere and simply bring in a proof of counseling document with you to each appointment to get your medication.
- If you do not desire to do counseling here, or with a mental health professional, you are able to attend 12-step meetings. (Please provide proof of meeting sheets.) After six months of clean screens and compliance, it can be determined that less frequency may be granted as determined by our counselor and doctors. You MUST bring in signed attendance sheets with you each visit to get your medication.
- NOTE: If you were once a patient here and leave for any reason, after six months absence, you will be required to re-enter as a new patient under the above-stated fee structure and scheduling. Pus, any old outstanding balances must be settled in full before re-admission.
* We do have medication coupons available to offset the cost of certain prescriptions. These are available as supplies last!
