• Sliding-Scale Program Pre-Qualification

  • Our Sliding-Scale Program helps patients who’ve genuinely exhausted all reasonable options to afford treatment.

    This quick pre-screen (about 2–3 minutes) checks basic eligibility.
    If you qualify, you’ll be taken directly to the full Sliding-Scale Application.
    If not, we’ll share next steps and other ways to get care.

    Please answer honestly—documentation will be required.

    Note: Able-bodied patients must be working full-time (40 hours/week) unless medically disabled with documentation. Some complex cases requiring physician oversight may only qualify for a partial discount.

  • Section A — Disability Status

  • Please Note: To qualify under disability, documentation is required.

    You may continue this pre-screen, but you will not be approved without disability documentation unless you are working 40 hours per week.

  • Section B — Employment Requirement

  • Employment Requirement Acknowledgement

    Our program requires able-bodied applicants who are not medically disabled to be gainfully employed at least 40 hours per week.

  • Section C — Tennessee Residency

    You must be a current resident of Tennessee to participate on our Sliding-Scale Program

  • Section D — Income & Documentation

    You must be able to verify your household income with one or more of the documents listed below

  • Section E — Behavioral Health Coverage

  • Section F — Level of Care

    (affects discount level, not eligibility)

  • Note: Complex cases may still qualify, but discounts may be partial due to the additional physician oversight/resources required.

  • Section G — Special Circumstances

  • We’re Sorry…

    Based on your answers, you don’t meet the current criteria for our Sliding Scale Program.

    But you still have several good options to continue care:

    • TennCare Medicaid – Apply for state-funded coverage that may pay for your treatment. [Apply on TennCare’s Website]
    • Self-Pay Program – Pay directly at a discounted rate: $370 every four weeks or $210 every two weeks.
    • Healthcare.gov – Explore federal health insurance options that may include addiction treatment coverage. [Visit Healthcare.gov]

    💡 If your situation changes (for example, new employment status or documentation), you may reapply for the Sliding Scale Program at any time.

    We’re committed to helping you find the care you need—please call or text us if you’d like help navigating your options.
