Our Financial Policy

Thank you for choosing Behavioral Health Center as your mental health provider. We are committed to your successful treatment. Please understand that payment of your co-pay, deductible, or other fees are considered part of your treatment. 

Payment of co-pay, deductible or non-covered services are due prior to services being rendered.

Behavioral Health Center accepts Cash, Debit, Check, Master Card, Visa and American Express

Insurance: If we are contracted with your insurance, we will bill your insurance and you are responsible for any co-pay, deductible, or non-covered services at the time services are rendered.  We must have your current insurance information at the time you are being seen, or you will be required to pay in full. Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are not party to that contract. In the event we do not accept assignment of benefits, it is your responsibility to get pre-approval for services. If your insurance has not paid your account in full within 60 days the balance will become your responsibility. Please be aware that some, and perhaps all, of the services provided may be non-covered services and not considered reasonable and customary under your insurance and/or Medicare or MaineCare program. If there is a change to your insurance you must notify us immediately.

MaineCare Clients:  We provide most services paid for by the MaineCare insurance program.  MaineCare regulations only allow you to see one therapist at a time. Therefore, please advise your therapist if you are currently receiving other services, or have received services, by a mental health clinician during the current calendar year.
