The Batterers Intervention Program is a self-pay program and we do not accept insurance. There is no sliding fee scale so all participants will agree at the outset to pay all of the fees associated with the program.
Assessments are $30.00 and participants are required to pay that fee at the conclusion of their assessment. Each group session is $20.00, so the entire cost of the program (assessment and 26 sessions) is $550.00. Participants are not considered to have completed group until they attend all required sessions and pay their balance in full.
