If families want their children to be seen in our clinic, here are the steps they should follow:
-
Get in touch with their insurance provider directly to confirm that behavioral health benefits are available and authorized for their children.
-
Contact their child's primary care provider and request that they get in touch with the Physicians Referral Center on their behalf. This is an important step to initiate the referral process.
Insurance and self-pay options are available.
What is the expected timeframe for an appointment?
Appointments are determined according to clinical triage criteria and are reviewed by a team of clinicians. Our goal is for patients to be seen within 3-4 weeks from referral date.
Referrals are tracked through a 5-step process:
