What To Expect On Your First Visit

When you come to our center for your first visit, you need to allow about an hour and a half to provide a medical history, to establish a financial record, and have an Assessment Evaluation.

The first step is filling out and signing a general consent and assessment for services. Please be sure you have the following items with you:

  1. Prior medical or mental health treatment records, if available, or an address where they can be obtained
  2. Medications you are taking (please bring the bottles)
  3. The letter of referral form from the doctor or attorney who sent you to us, if applicable
  4. If you are court-ordered, please bring a copy of the order
  5. Medical card or insurance card
  6. Proof of income
  7. Something with your social security number on it (card or driver's license)
  8. Proof of guardianship if client is a child and you are not the birth or adoptive parents

The Receptionist will fill out an application for services with you and ask you questions about how you are planning to pay for services. You will be given information about payment options and our sliding fee scale will be explained you you. Fees will be based on family income and the number of family members in the household.

You will be expected to pay on the day of service. If you have private insurance, the receptionist will call your company and you will know how many services you are eligable for under your insurance plan before you leave. We also accept Medicaid, Medicare, Vocational Rehabilitation, Workers Compensation, and SSI assignments based on currently established fee schedules.

YOU WILL BE CHARGED A $10 SET-UP FEE AT THE TIME YOU APPLY FOR SERVICES AND PAYMENT OF THIS FEE IS EXPECTED AT THAT TIME

The second step is the assessment, which is performed by a clinician. During this step, the clinician will talk with you about why you have come to Mountain Comprehensive Care and will discuss your current needs for services as well as any previous difficulties you have experienced
