Van Buren Community Mental Health does not deny services based on an individual’s inability to pay for services.

Services are based on eligibility and payment is based on what you can afford. We will help you to determine your needs and conclude whether your treatment will be covered. No individual will be denied access to support due to inability to pay; and there is a discount/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income.

To determine your fee, a review of requested documents along with information you provide will be reviewed (proof of income is required). In general, you’ll be asked to provide information about any sources of income or health insurance that may cover support. All financial information will be held in the strictest confidence. Once a fee has been determined, you also can ask for a review of your determined fee if you do not agree with the amount you are asked to pay. If you fail to provide insurance information, you may be at risk of being charged services that might otherwise be covered.

VBCMH does not discriminate based on race, color, sex, national origin, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, inability to pay or Medicaid/Medicare CHIP status. If you feel you qualify for the sliding fee scale, or if you would like to have your service fee re-determined, please notify a member of our Access Team at 269-655-3333.
