What We Do
The PsychPlus Foundation was established in 2023
Dr. Faisal Tai started this foundation to provide financial support to under and uninsured clients of his mental health services company, PsychPlus. Many PsychPlus patients come through our doors (in person or online) uninsured or underinsured. Even when individuals and families have good health insurance, there is often a lack of parity between coverage for physical and mental health services. Many of our patients are also forced to pay out of pocket or up front with the hope that their insurance company will reimburse them for a high fraction of the cost, and promptly.
Out of pocket and up-front costs can overwhelm families who must pay for weekly therapy sessions or regular appointments with prescribers. In the U.S., out of pocket costs for non-covered mental or physical healthcare or hospitalization is the number one cause of bankruptcy for families.
The PsychPlus Foundation has and will continue to support mental health patients because we believe every patient deserves quality, affordable mental health care. To date the foundation has provided financial support to numerous patients through grants received from the Tomball Regional Health Foundation. We are continuing to build our foundation so we can support many more patients in the future.
The PsychPlus Foundation is interested in engaging in outreach and education activities. We are available to speak to and engage with college and university students, community groups, and organizations about our services and support for underinsured patients. Our presentations emphasize the importance of early mental health care in preventing more serious illness and the advocacy that is needed to create a more accessible system of mental health care in Texas and beyond. We are available to present to gorups, table at fairs and other events, and provide other types of outreach activities such as informational handouts or public service announcements. Please contact us to book us at your event!
