Who do you serve?
We serve everyone. We do not deny services based on a person’s race, color, sex, age, national origin, disability, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation or ability to pay. There may be situations where we do not have the type of services someone needs, but we always try to connect people with other services who may be able to help.
What insurances are you paneled with?
LifeSpring works as a provider for several difference insurance companies. We may be able to act as an “out of network” provider for others. Please call your local LifeSpring office to ask specifically about your insurance carrier. LifeSpring is a Medicaid/Medicare provider. We offer sliding fee scales for everyone, even if they have insurance.
How do I know if your office is open in the event of inclement weather?
If LifeSpring is closed for inclement weather, it will be advertised on our website and Facebook page. To be on the safe side, please call to confirm your appointment if there is any concern over weather.
How do I get an appointment?
Simply call the office closest to you. If you are unsure of which office you should call, contact the Main Center at (812)280-2080.
Is there a charge for services?
Yes, however some individuals may qualify for a sliding scale fee plan. We serve everyone, regardless of ability to pay. Additionally, LifeSpring is a Medicaid/Medicare provider, and clients who have either of these carriers may not have a co-pay. For more information review our Fee Policy.

How will you decide if you will recommend medication?
With the exception of people who come to LifeSpring during a crisis, all clients see a therapist first. At this time, the therapist and client work through an assessment process which identifies some of the issues the client is facing, and helps the client set goals for their recovery. Studies have shown that clients who work closely with a therapist respond more favorably in their recovery. After working with the therapist for some time, the therapist and client may decide an evaluation by a psychiatrist is appropriate to determine if medication can aid in their recovery. LifeSpring’s seamless assessment and treatment process ensures appropriate clients are referred to Medical Services, reducing psychiatric wait times.
