Patient Information
Assessment
Each patient who is seeking assistance for a chemical dependency problem will be assessed by a qualified professional either at COMPASS or at the Lucas County Mental Health and Recovery Services Central Access site. This is required so that the patient receives appropriate treatment.
Payment for Services
Each new patient meets with the billing office to assess the method of payment for treatment services. COMPASS accepts private insurance, Medicaid, and self-payment on a sliding scale according to income level. For those patients who are not insured or who do not qualify for Medicaid, funding from the state or local government may be accessed.
Please bring the following with you to your assessment appointment:
Please note, this process does not apply to patients registering for the Driver Intervention Program (DIP). Payment for DIP is due at time of registration, or a Medicaid card must be presented at that time and again at the beginning of the program.
Admissions
The assessment process results in each patient being assigned to a specific type of treatment or program. Once the financial assessment is completed, the patient will be directed to that program. The residential intake process is different from the outpatient process, and depending upon the program there may be a limited waiting period until there is space for the new patient. In the event that this waiting period will be more than three days, the patient will be enrolled in COMPASS’ Early Engagement Program until a treatment space is available. In most cases an individual coming to COMPASS for the first time will not begin treatment that day. However, COMPASS personnel work tirelessly to accommodate the needs of patients and will admit the patient as soon as possible.
