Care Credit
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed to help individuals finance medical expenses that aren't covered by insurance or other means. It's often used for procedures like dental work, vision correction, cosmetic surgery, and veterinary care for pets. CareCredit offers special financing options, including interest-free periods, for qualifying expenses, allowing patients to spread out payments over time. It's accepted by a network of healthcare providers, including doctors, dentists, veterinarians, and some retail locations.
Offering to accept CareCredit will make expensive treatments such as Psychological Evaluations more accessible to our clients.
Working with a Clinician-in-Training
You have the option to work with a clinician-in-training at Mala for a lower price. This means that you will work with a clinician who is currently in graduate school to be a therapist and completing their clinical hours.
All our clinicians-in-training are incredible people whose heart aligns with our mission at Mala and are overseen by highly trained supervisors. This is a great opportunity if you would like a more accessible therapy option while still getting quality care.
Out-of-pocket fee: $50 per session
Good Faith Estimates
For self-pay clients
Under Michigan law, you have a right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) that explains how much your care at Mala will cost if you choose to pay out-of-pocket. This is to make sure we’re all on the same page and there are no surprises down the road. Reach out for a GFE before scheduling services with us or we’ll provide one to you at least 1 day before your service is scheduled.
