Frequently asked questions

Privacy and confidentiality

  • Cope does not share your information with anyone unless you sign a release of information.
  • We would only share information if someone were a risk to hurting themselves, hurting a child, or a vulnerable adult.

Cost

  • There is no cost to you or your family for Cope services.

Insurance

  • Services are provided regardless of insurance status.
  • You do not have to have insurance to receive Cope services.
  • If you have insurance, Cope will bill insurance companies for services, but we do not collect a co-pay from you.
  • If you receive an explanation of benefits (EOB) that is not a bill, and no payment is necessary.

Police involvement

  • Cope is separate from the police. If there is an emergency or high-risk situation, we will call 911.
  • For example, if someone might harm themselves, we might call 911 if an ambulance is the safest way to transport them to a hospital; however, we always consult with the family or individual before doing so.
