A clearer first step toward care.
Understand the care pathway, location, and access requirements before getting started with ROW.
Begin with the service and location
Tell ROW who needs care, which service or level of support you are considering, and the location you prefer. The team can discuss the relevant access pathway and what information is needed to review fit and availability.
Insurance participation
[CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING — Insurance directory: Insert verified accepted insurance categories and plan names, organized by service and location, with an update date.] Participation may differ across outpatient care, psychiatric Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), ABA/IBHS, and interventional services. Confirm the specific program rather than relying on an organization-wide plan list.
Coverage and costs
Discuss network participation, referral or authorization requirements, and any applicable patient costs for the requested service. [CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING — Cost information: Add approved self-pay information, financial policies, and assistance options if available.] Insurance information should be verified for the individual plan and service before care is scheduled.
What to have ready
Have the patient’s age, presenting needs, requested location, insurance plan details, current providers, and relevant referral information available for the intake conversation. [CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING — Access process: Confirm required documents and approved secure submission route.]
Choosing the appropriate pathway
Outpatient care, higher levels of psychiatric care, and ABA/IBHS have distinct assessment and access requirements. For children with overlapping mental-health and neurodevelopmental needs, ROW can discuss the relevant pathway and coordination across services.
For referral partners
Use the professional referral pathway to find program criteria, location-specific contacts, and the referral process.
Take the next step
Ask about the service, location, and access requirements that apply to you or the person you are referring.
