Hello,
I work for a nonprofit mental health center in Texas that accepts insurance but is largely funded by grants. I am having a hard time getting straight answers from our contracted payors (insurance companies) so I am looking for some guidance to balance grant funding for services where the client has insurance.
Does anyone have any experience/input about when it is acceptable to use a grant to cover client copays instead of collecting directly from the patient? I know this is done often in oncology, but it has been several years since I've worked in that field and I was not in a practice manager role at the time.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this,
Chrissy Fegan, CPPM
