Referral Information

Who is Eligible?

We are currently accepting new patients under 16 years of age, and generally follow youngsters needing ongoing specialty health care through age 21. As part of the intake process for new referrals, it is often determined that older adolescents are better served by other programs that will continue to provide service throughout the adult years. Referrals to such programs will be made.

What Does the Program Cost?

Costs depend upon the services required, and may be covered by insurance. Other payment avenues include:

• Self-pay
• Medical insurance (all insurance accepted, including Medicaid)
• Early Intervention
• School District consult

1. If you anticipate insurance coverage, first get an insurance referral from your child's primary care provider, if your insurer requires it.
2. Call our secretary at 275-2986, who will take your insurance and demographic information.
3. An intake interview will take place in approximately 2-3 weeks to determine if our services are appropriate, what type of evaluation is needed, who will see your child, and to schedule the appointment.
