Your First Appointment

You can arrange your first appointment easily and quickly.

Call (555) 555-5555, leave your name (please spell it as well to ensure clarity), telephone number where you are most readily available, and some possible times to best return your call. Most calls are returned within 4-6 hours. Upon call back, you will be asked a few simple questions and given your first appointment.

You do not typically need a referral to be given an initial appointment. However, be sure you check with your insurance carrier to determine if they require prior approval. Checking with your insurance carrier will also clarify for you what benefits you are entitled to, and what you can expect to be responsible for in terms of deductible amounts and co-payments.

At Counseling Services, we accept BCBS PPO and self-pay. Other insurance carriers will cover our services at out-of-network benefit levels.

When you come to your first appointment, please bring:

1. Your completed initial client information/registration form
2. Your insurance card
3. Payment (cash, credit card or check) to cover your first session
