Insurance and Billing
As a nonprofit behavioral health provider, access to healthcare for everyone is a priority, regardless of financial status or insurance coverage. If you don’t have insurance, we have options for you. We offer a sliding fee scale based on income and family size. Whatever the situation, do not let cost be a barrier to seeking treatment at SouthLight. We will work diligently to ensure there are affordable treatment options available to you and those that you love.

- It is important to note that these options are only available to those who have no insurance coverage through any Commercial or Medicaid plans.

If you are having trouble paying for services provided by SouthLight, please contact our Billing Department at 919-787-6131 ext 1501.
– Do you have a sliding fee scale?
Yes. For individuals who do not have an insurance plan (i.e. a plan listed above or Medicaid), you may qualify to pay a percentage of the cost based on a sliding fee scale. During your initial intake, we will ask a series of questions to determine if you qualify.
