Heartland Assistance Programs

The Heartland Assistance Program (HAP) is a partnership program that aims to provide your organization with Christ-centered psychological services, connecting you to mental health care and a clinician liaison. It is designed to be tailored to the needs of your employees, congregants, or those you serve.

  • Who can be assessed?
    Testing is offered for those over the age of 5, although it is often advantageous to wait (if possible) until age 7. This allows us to use a wider variety of assessments.
  • Do I need a referral?
    Heartland does not require a referral for testing services.
  • Where do you offer testing?
    Testing is offered in our Pella office only. The Pella office is located at 2611 Washington St, Pella, IA 50219.
  • What does testing cost?
    Everyone's insurance plan is different, and the out-of-pocket cost will vary based on your coverage. The Insurance Worksheet for Psychological Testing walks you through the process of contacting your insurance to determine what your out-of-pocket cost will be. Rates for testing vary based on age and specific tests used.
  • Rate Estimates (before insurance):
    Under 18: $1,800 18 and Over: $2,145
  • I have Medicaid. Can I be tested?
    While we can accept Medicaid for therapy services, at this time we cannot submit to Medicaid for testing. You may still be tested but will be responsible for covering the full out-of-pocket cost at the time of service. See rates above.
  • What if I have non-Medicaid primary insurance, but I have Medicaid as a secondary insurance?
    As long as the primary insurance is one that our psychologists are credentialed with, we can submit testing claims to your primary insurance. We still cannot submit to Medicaid, so you will be responsible for any amount your primary insurance does not cover.
  • Are there any resources that can help me cover the cost of testing?
    Heartland is now accepting Care Credit as a payment option, which can offer the opportunity for repayment over time. Click HERE to learn more.

When enrolling in the Heartland Assistance Program, you will be directed to a HAP liaison. Contact us at 515-331-0303 (West Des Moines) or 641-628-9599 (Pella) if you would like more information on our Heartland Assistance Programs.
