Frequently Asked Questions


Do you accept different insurances?

Yes, CMHS accepts Medicare, Medicaid, most managed Medicare plans, and most commercial insurance plans.

Are there any fees for your services?

No, there are NO HIDDEN FEES. Our services are of NO COST to facilities. We bill insurance companies directly. In fact, CMHS can help to reduce costs in your facility:

  • Reduced unnecessary Emergency Department visits
  • Elimination/reduction of costly medications
  • Complimentary inservices on the topics of your choice
  • Our comprehensive documentation helps you to avoid survey deficiency fines


Our current mental health provider is not timely in responding to emergencies. We sometimes wait for days. How quickly can you respond?

Our full time Clinical Director is available to help triage crisis situations. Our response typically occurs within 24 hours, though most often, within a few hours of notification.

Do your clinicians take the time to talk with the residents? Too many simply prescribe a pill and move on to the next patient.

The resident’s experience, in their own words, is one of the most important pieces of our assessment. Our clinicians take the time to gather as much information as possible, before developing a treatment plan. When appropriate, we also offer psychotherapy services through Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs). Regular psychotherapy in combination with medication management is proven to be more effective in managing many mental health issues.

Are your owners actively involved in the company?

Yes. Dr. Cooper MD FAPA (psychiatrist) and Dr. Shack PhD (psychologist) are committed to CMHS on a full-time basis. Both participate in the company’s daily operations and clinical matters. Dr. Cooper and Dr. Shack regularly treat residents and also mentor CMHS clinicians.
