When no intake worker is available, an answering machine takes calls. Requests are promptly assigned to a therapist who will call to set up an initial request for service. Both day and evening appointments are available. Additional information about FSC services can be obtained by calling the Family Service Center staff at one of the above numbers. FSC fees are based on a family's income and the number of dependents.
Fees are on a sliding scale.
These fees cover only a small part of the cost of providing service. Payment by cash or check is expected after each session. Cancellation of appointments must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled session or the fee will be charged for the missed appointment. Don J. Moss, M.D., is the director of the Mental Health Service of the University of Maryland Health Service. Dr. Moss is a psychiatric consultant to the Family Service Center.
