How Services are Paid

OHP Clients:
Kinship House can provide services for a variety of individuals with OHP coverage.  Kinship House works with the following OHP plans:

• Division of Medical Assistance Programs (DMAP)
• Multnomah County Verity
• Family Care
• If a child has an "Open Medical Card" that does not have an MHO assigned for mental health services, Kinship House can bill OMAP for medically necessary mental health services.
  

Out-of Pocket:
Out-of-pocket payments are accepted at the time of services. Please feel free to speak with our billing coordinator if you have a special circumstance we should be aware of.

Private Insurance:
Kinship House will gladly work with you to utilize your private insurance. Specific benefits vary among plans, so please give the billing coordinator a call and we would be happy to check on your coverage.

Assessment and Transition Services

Administrative Medical dollars:
These funds are accessed by State caseworkers and will cover assessments that address permanency and placement needs and/or attachment and bonding. The codes that are required for the assessments are listed on the Kinship House referral form.

We provide assessments for children from infancy through eighteen years of age and for parents. You may request an assessment for an individual, sibling group, parent-child interaction or a parent assessment. If you are uncertain about what you need, please contact the intake coordinator for consultation.

System of Care (SOC):
This money is accessed by State caseworkers and will cover transitional services for children who are moving into an adoptive home, are experiencing a disruption in their placement, or have been recently placed in an adoptive home. These funds are at a contracted rate for a predetermined number of hours. Please speak with our intake coordinator to begin the contract process and see our referral form for additional information.
