LRADAC Programs
Fees & Financial Responsibility
LRADAC charges fees for services; however, no one will be denied services due to the inability to pay. Clients receive a Financial Agreement and Fee Schedule at the time of intake. This agreement explains the fees for services and the collection process. If the client is unable to pay the fees, appropriate arrangements may be made to develop a payment plan. LRADAC accepts insurance, Medicaid and self-payment including Mastercard and Visa. If the client chooses self-payment, the staff will work with him or her to develop a payment plan.
Financial Agreement
LRADAC receives State and Federal dollars to assist in paying for the services that clients receive. However, these funds do not cover the entire cost of these services. The fees charged play a vital role in assuring that these high quality services are provided at the lowest possible cost to the taxpaying citizens of Lexington and Richland Counties.
Payment Plan: Clients are responsible for payment for services received according to the agency fee schedule. Such payment will be made in accordance with a payment plan developed by the client and his or her counselors.
Account Statements: Clients will receive a monthly statement from LRADAC that reflects the following information: statement closing date, prior monthly balance, payments and charges since the last statement, current balance pending insurance payments and current balance due from the client.
Billing/Collection Information: If you are eligible for third party reimbursement, LRADAC will file on your behalf a claim for services rendered. the client will receive a bill for the cost of any services not covered or any remaining balance due after the third party payor has paid.
Third party payors include insurance carriers and Medicaid. If you fail to remit payment, or if you offer an invalide check, LRADAC reserves the right to seek the services of a collection agency and/or to collect outstanding balances through the South Carolina Department of Revenue under the terms of the Setoff Debt Collection Act of 1988 (Section 12-56 and Section 12-4-580).
Residential Services: Clients in residential services who leave between Friday and Sunday, rather than their prior arranged scheduled discharge date, will be charged the regular daily rate through Monday of the week following their departure.
