We now accept Alabama Medicaid
We have BIG news! Impact Family Counseling now accepts Alabama Medicaid insurance! Mental health care and accessibility is important to our community, so we are excited to serve more people who need our help. You’ve been asking, and we’ve delivered.
What do I need to know before scheduling?
We will accept Medicaid clients that are 6-21 years of age, and carry Medicaid coverage through Alabama’s Medicaid program. We are still working on accepting patients with other insurance coverage and will let you know as soon as we can accept it.
Why only children?
There is a significant lack of mental health education in our communities. Many are not being taught about how their mental health affects their overall health. Access to Medicaid providers is so limited, many children don’t have the opportunity to see a licensed therapist. Our goal is to change that. Over 52% of the Medicaid coverage in Alabama covers children 19 and younger. We identified the greatest need, and are taking steps to fill it.
How do I request an appointment?
All clients must complete an Outpatient Intake Form on our website and indicate that they have Medicaid insurance coverage. YOU MUST ALSO get a referral from the pediatrician or primary care physician. Referrals may be sent directly to Impact via fax at 205-916-0878.
