Services Offered

Behavioral Health Services

CVHS offers fully-integrated and confidential Behavioral Health Services in several of our office locations. A fairly broad range of services are available, and vary by site depending on provider specialization.

Each site with Behavioral Health Services offers evaluation and treatment services for mood, anxiety, and adjustment disorders and the interacting effects of psychological/behavioral factors and medical conditions (e.g., obesity, smoking cessation, coping with chronic illness, including pain management). Certain sites offer specialized services for issues such as alcohol and substance abuse, trauma and crisis debriefing, attachment problems, multicultural issues, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, learning disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and neuropsychological evaluation.

Fees and Payment

The cost for your visit depends on whether or not you have insurance and what that insurance co-pay is.

If you are insured, you will be asked to pay whatever your insurance requires as a co-pay or deductible. However, if you qualify based on family size and income, a portion of that co-pay or deductible may be reduced. CVHS accepts most major insurance and dental plans; including Medicare, Medicaid, and HMO's.

If you are uninsured and you are concerned that you cannot pay for health care, please apply for the sliding fee.

To apply for the sliding fee, you will need to bring income verification on your first visit. When you make your first appointment, the Patient Services Representative can give you an estimate on the cost of your first visit. You may require additional services that are NOT included in this estimate, so the actual cost may be higher than what you were quoted.

If the cost of the visit is higher than what the PSR quoted, CVHS will bill you for the remaining portion. After your first visit, the PSR will be able to give you a closer estimate for your future visits. Patients should be prepared to pay for their care at the time of their visit, or make arrangements with the office manager for a payment plan.
