What to expect when you call.
- The Turning Point team member who answers will help you begin the process with a brief screening to ensure that we’re the best fit for your recovery needs.
- We’ll also orient you to our services and do our best to help you find an affordable option. If you do not have insurance coverage, we also offer a sliding fee scale.
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and most Medicaid plans.
- If you currently have healthcare insurance coverage, please have that information available when you call.
- After your initial call, a therapist or case manager will contact you within 24 hours to schedule a time to talk more about your needs and treatment preferences.
- That conversation will take about 90 minutes, and when it’s complete, we’ll give you our best estimate of when you’ll be matched with a therapist or other provider.
- Please understand that we may have a wait list. Appointment scheduling will depend on your circumstances, your availability, and the availability of the right Turning Point team member.
