Billing Help and Sliding Fee Discount Program
Meadowlark Mind & Body is committed to improving access to mental health and wellness care. For eligible patients, we offer a Sliding Fee Discount Program that may reduce the cost of certain services based on household income and family size.
Patients may contact our billing team or clinic number to request a sliding fee screening, ask questions about payment options, or learn what documentation may be needed.
Please call or text 307-300-5885 for help. Ask specifically about “billing help” or “sliding fee screening.”
About the Sliding Fee Discount Program
Our Sliding Fee Discount Program is available to eligible patients based on household income and family size. Eligibility is reviewed individually after the required application and supporting documentation are submitted.
The program is designed to help reduce financial barriers to care. Approval is not guaranteed, and discounts cannot be applied until the application has been reviewed and approved. Approved discounts may apply only to eligible services and may need to be renewed periodically or when income, household size, or insurance coverage changes.
Services That May Qualify
The Sliding Fee Discount Program may apply to eligible services, including:
- Psychiatric medication management appointments
- Therapy initial assessments
- Established patient therapy visits
- Other eligible outpatient behavioral health services, when approved
Some services may not qualify. Certain services, medications, labs, specialty treatments, supplies, or third-party costs may not be eligible for sliding fee discounts.
Insurance and Sliding Fee Eligibility
Sliding fee eligibility is based on household income and family size. Patients with insurance may still ask about sliding fee eligibility when allowed by the insurance plan and applicable rules. Some insurance contracts may limit the ability to apply discounts to patient responsibility amounts.
Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and other coverage rules may vary. Our billing team can review available options and explain what may or may not apply.

Important Information
Submission of an application does not guarantee approval. Discounts cannot be applied until eligibility has been reviewed and approved by our billing team.
Payment may still be required at the time of service unless other arrangements have been approved.
Approved discounts may need to be renewed periodically or sooner if household income, household size, insurance coverage, or financial circumstances change.
The Sliding Fee Discount Program does not replace insurance verification, medical-necessity requirements, prior-authorization requirements, or other payer rules.
Meadowlark Mind & Body is not a crisis center or emergency service. Billing forms, website forms, emails, texts, and portal messages are not monitored for emergencies.
