Frequently Asked Questions:
What can I expect to happen at the Assessment Clinic?
1. You will meet with an Admissions Specialist who will gather demographic information, insurance information and consent forms. (This may take 20 minutes). Please bring your income verification or letter of support, a list of your current medications and your insurance card(s)
2. Meet with the Assessment Clinician. (This could take 1-2 hours)
If at all possible, we ask that you not bring young children to the assessment.
If you are court-ordered for treatment, please bring contact information so we will be able to submit your assessment to the appropriate agency/court.
How long will my appointment be?
We operate on a first come, first served basis. In addition certain insurance carriers may require a provider with a specific license to complete your assessement. In this case you may have to wait until an appropriate clinician is available.
What if I’m unable to come before 2:00 PM for the Walk-in Assessment Clinic?
You can come and sign in and tell us that you will need to be seen later in the day. Signing in and letting the Admission Specialist know that you will need to come back later for an assessment should only take 10-15 minutes of your time. The Admission Specialist will ask about your insurance coverage. Typically, the latest appointment would be 3:30PM on any of our Walk-in Assessment Clinic days.
In certain situations, we can have you complete your paperwork with the Admissions Specialist and then return on a different day for the assessment portion.
