For referral information please contact the centers directly at the number listed above. Threshold Services accepts Montgomery County residents with Medical Assistance (MA or Medicaid), Medicare and Medicaid, or PAC. Uninsured patients are reviewed on a case by case basis. Threshold Services is not paneled with any private insurance so we will need to confirm that any private insurance allows out of network providers. Threshold Services may ask for proof of income to determine ability to pay deductibles and/or co-payments.
The OMHC Director may need to approve private pay or private insured referrals before an intake appointment is scheduled.
The referral process occurs in two steps. Your first meeting is with a therapist. This session takes about 1.5 hours and you have some paperwork to complete. The second session is with a psychiatrist. This session takes about 30 minutes. After these sessions you will be assigned to a psychiatrist and/or therapist for ongoing treatment that you request or was recommended during the intake process.
- You are responsible for any cost of treatment or co-payment should your insurance company or other third party fail to fully reimburse Threshold Services for services provided to you. Your copay:
- Uninsured $2.00 per visit
- Medicaid/MA $0 co-pay
- PAC $0 co pay
- Medicare only 45% per visit ($30.86/$42.81 therapy; $15.42 group; $27.32 med management; see staff re: other services)
- Medicare/QMB $0
- Medicare/Medicaid $0 co-pay
- Private Insurance/Private Pay (Initial Evaluation: $181.12; Initial Psychiatric Evaluation: $181.12; Individual Therapy: $53.22/96.70; Group Therapy: $41.20; Medication Management: $72.68; Treatment Planning: $88.12)
- You are expected to attend all scheduled appointments. You are expected to be on time for all appointments. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, you MUST call at least 24 hours in advance.
- You are expected to meet with a therapist at least every six months to complete an individual treatment plan. This is mandated by the state of Maryland for all clients. In addition, if you have Medical Assistance, PAC, or are uninsured you must meet with a therapist every six months to complete a brief survey so that we can get authorizations to keep providing you services. This is also a state mandate.
- If you do not provide 24 hour notice prior to a cancellation, it will be documented as a NO SHOW.
- If you have a standing appointment, the space may no longer be held for you on a regular basis.
- After your second NO SHOW, when you call to reschedule, you will have to see whoever is available to see you. This means that it may not be your therapist/psychiatrist.
- If you do not show up for a scheduled appointment, it is your responsibility to call to reschedule. A staff member may attempt to reach you by phone at their discretion.
- If you miss repeated scheduled appointments, a staff member may mail you a notice regarding the absences as well as copies of this notice to any of your other healthcare providers for whom we have a signed release of information on file.
- After missing two (2) consecutive appointments, it is your responsibility to contact Threshold Services within five (5) business days to let us know if you wish to continue receiving services at our clinic.
- Lack of participation in treatment is grounds for discharge from the program.
- If you need to change a standing appointment day or time, please discuss this with your therapist or psychiatrist. We will make every effort to provide an alternative appointment time that is convenient. Weekend and evening hours may be individually scheduled. Check with your provider for availability.
- You are responsible for making sure that you have the necessary prescriptions and refills of any medication until your next appointment. If you run out of medication before your next appointment, you may be asked to schedule an additional appointment in order to receive the prescription.
- You are responsible for informing Threshold Services of any changes in name, address, phone number, insurance, marital status, etc.
