Frequently Asked Questions

No, GRAND Mental Health is not state operated. We are a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation. We have a contract with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) to provide needed services for individuals meeting state guidelines for eligibility. We also accept Medicaid and Medicare insurance.

As of March 2022, we accept Medicaid, Traditional Medicare, SoonerCare, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, HealthChoice/PSI, Beacon, and Humana insurances. If your insurance is not listed here, please contact them directly. Ask about their mental health coverage and where you can receive these services. We do not discriminate in the provision of services based on ability to pay. Crisis and referral services are available to all, regardless of health care coverage.

We want to make sure that mental health care is available and affordable for everyone. Our sliding pay scale for our services is based on Federal Poverty Guidelines for household income and family size. Download the Sliding Pay Scale chart to see if your household qualifies for reduced fees for services. If you have any questions about the sliding pay scale, contact us at 918-273-1841.
