FAQs

Which plan is right for me?

If unsure, sign-up for our Basic plan and you can always move-up. Your engagement in our BHSP truly helps everyone and provides much needed help for those who have no insurance coverage! If your company can afford an amount larger than $500.00, then by all means, we would welcome your higher Basic tier commitment or Premium Sponsorship, but that's up to you. Bottom line is... we would love to partner with you!

How many companies do you expect to sign up for your sponsorship program?

We have short term and long term goals regarding the BHSP. Our long-term goal is to partner with at least 1,000 Florida large, medium, and small businesses, as well as apartment communities throughout our state.

Can I upgrade to the premium plans later on?

Absolutely. If you decide to increase your plan, please send us an email and we will gladly work with you on the details.

So with the premium plans, I am basically paying for my employees' mental health costs, right?

Depending on the tier, you are paying for X number of sessions per year, which they can use for counseling or therapy, yes.

If I choose the premium plans, am I responsible for any administrative tasks?

No, there are no tasks (administrative or otherwise) that you are responsible for.

How do I know how my sponsorship money is being spent?

Every quarter we send out a PDF report on how the monies are being spent.

Am I allowed to have access to the behavioral health records of my employees?

No, that is not allowed per privacy and HIPAA laws. Your employees/resident's medical information is never disclosed to you unless there is a valid release of information filed.

What is the sign up process like? Is there a lot of paperwork?

The sign-up is easy, simply give us a call at 407.902.8331 or email us at info@thelukascompany.com to get started. There is no complicated paperwork, as we strive to make things easy and simple.

Who is actually performing the services?

Services are performed by our two behavioral health companies. We have been providing behavioral and mental health counseling services since February of 2010. We have over 100 clinicians across the state of Florida and growing each month.

Are you a non-profit?

We are not. We used to be one, but we let-go of the status, due to the extensive red-tape and hurdles that non-profits have to go through. We find that not being one has let us expand and serve the communities across Florida in a much better manner.

That said, your sponsorship fees are fully tax-deductible as a business expense.

What if I want to contribute an amount larger than tier-4?

We do offer a VIP option if your company is able to make a larger contribution than the Premium Tier-4 levels. Please contact us to arrange all the details; your sponsorship amounts, even as small amount as the Basic plan, truly helps us in achieving our goals.

What if I want to make a one-time contribution instead of monthly?

You can absolutely do that and pre-pay for a 12 month commitment instead of monthly.

Am I liable for paying for my employees/resident's healthcare costs?

No. Even with the Premium plans, you are only paying for X number of sessions per year, which they can use for counseling or therapy, that's all. That does not obligate you to pay any further costs nor unrelated costs.

What if I change my mind?

We do require a commitment of 12 months for your partnership. We hope that you renew that each year, but of course, there is no obligation whatsoever.

Don't people have insurance anyway to pay for mental health?

In 2021, 53.1% of kids in Florida had a commercial plan coverage for mental health, which has limited/restrictive rules, and 7.3% of all kids in Florida, approx. 350,000 kids, have no coverage at all!
