Discounted services: Patients may be eligible to receive services at a discount, which is made possible through a federal grant.
Approved patients will be charged a nominal fee at the time of service. That fee amount is based on the service: medical, dental, behavioral health, telepsychiatry, or specialty visit.
Updated nominal fees – or copays – are effective Nov. 20, 2023:
- Behavioral Health: $15 per visit
- Medical, Telepsychiatry: $25 per visit
- Specialty, Dental: $35 per visit
The increase ensures compliance with Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the federal agency that helps provide equitable health care. We will continue to assess our rates and affordability each year.
Here are some important facts for consideration:
- Crusader provides assistance completing applications for Medicaid and other benefits.
- Payment assistance discounts are available based on family size and income levels. To be considered for a discount, a patient must provide proof of income. Discount levels are 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% on services and are re-evaluated annually.
- Some supplies/equipment are not eligible for a discount, such as dental fabrications involving dentures and crowns.
- Radiology (X-ray) orders are often eligible for discounts for uninsured/underinsured patients.
