Affordable Therapy Program
At Cultura Health, we’re proud to offer low-cost, affordable individual and relationship counseling. With our Affordable Care Program, you don’t need insurance and you don’t need to be in-network. We provide professional counseling that fits your budget — our affordable rates mean top-notch authentic mental health care for all.
How are fees determined?
We use a sliding fee scale and offer rates that are discounted from our usual and customary rates, as determined by the recipient’s ability to pay. Depending on the recipient’s family size and household income, rates for services are discounted, as shown in this table. View our Sliding Fee Scale effective as of August 8, 2023.
What is Cultura Health’s Sliding Fee Based On?
Our sliding fee is based on federal poverty guidelines and is subject to change.
What if my household is bigger than 10 members?
If your household consists of more than 10 people, you need to schedule an appointment with a Cultura Health Financial Advocate (MFA) to calculate the fee that would apply to you. To schedule an appointment please call 832.553.6225.
When is the fee due?
The fee is due at the time of visit. If you are unable to pay your bill at the time of the visit, you will need to meet with a financial counselor.
