Insurance and Payment Options

 
 
 
 

What if I don't have insurance?

Effective and timely intervention is critical to recovery; paying for treatment should not prevent an individual from receiving services. If you are uninsured, you may qualify for the Montana Medicaid HELP program or other state assistance. If no coverage options are accessible, our Accounts Receivable Department may be able to arrange ​​​a sliding scale fee. Please contact our Accounts Receivable Department for more information; 406-532-8400.



What insurance do you accept?

Western Montana Mental Health works with all insurance providers to facilitate the greatest benefit from your coverage. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, Healthy Montana Kids, and most private insurance. In some cases, we can offer a sliding scale fee to help offset treatment costs. Please contact our Accounts Receivable Department at 406-532-8400.



What does treatment costs?

Treatment consists of an individualized program; therefore, the total cost of treatment depends upon such variables as level of care, length of stay, pharmacy, labs, and psychiatric services provided. After the initial assessment appointment, our team can assist in confirming benefits with your insurance provider and determining an approximate out-of-pocket expense. You will be billed according to our current fee schedule and are responsible for co-pays, deductibles and any other costs not reimbursed by your insurance carrier. If you do not have insurance we can still help. In some cases, we can offer a sliding scale fee to help offset treatment costs. Please contact our Accounts Receivable Department for more information; 406-532-8400.



How much will my insurance cover?

For clients who would like to use their private insurance to cover of the cost of treatment, we can attempt to verify coverage and benefits. Please contact our Accounts Receivable Department at 406-532-8400. Verification is not a guarantee of coverage or payment.



Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, we accept all major credit cards and most HSA plans. Please contact our Accounts Receivable Department at 406-532-8425.



Can payment arrangements be made?

We will always try to work with you, and in some cases payment arrangements can be made. Payment arrangements, whether through an insurance company, employer, family, friend, and/or patient, must be made with the Accounts Receivable Department prior to admission. Please contact the Accounts Receivable Department for more information; 406-532-8400.
