4. How doIrefer a consumer andwhat canIexpect?
Unless you as a referral source request another method of
referral and follow upthe following has been our practice:
Most often a referral can be made with a phone call, email or
fax. After a referral is made to us we will normally attempt to
contact the consumer the same day toset upan initial
assessment appointment intheir home and ifnocontact was
possible we notify you for follow up.
As soon as the initialvisit occurs, anda release of information
is signed, we will notify you as a referral source, most often by
emailthat the consumer has engaged. After wards, at your
convenience, either weekly or bi-weekly a briefcontact will
be made withyou to exchange information and ensure the
ongoing engagement and positive progress of the consumers.
Now What?
Ifyou would like torefer a consumer or want further
consideration or information please feel free tocontact us.
