What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive assessment where we’ll discuss your needs, goals, and treatment options. Our team is here to answer any questions and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
How long does treatment last?
Every journey is unique. Some clients benefit from short-term support, while others engage in long-term care. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple! Just complete our New Client Intake Form, and one of our friendly intake coordinators will reach out to schedule your first appointment. You can also give us a call at 803-233-3236, and we’ll be happy to assist you. Our team is committed to providing prompt responses, so you can expect to hear back from us shortly!
How does psychiatric and educational testing work?
To begin, follow the steps outlined in “How do I get started?”—complete the intake form or call us. Your journey starts with a one-hour initial session, where we’ll discuss background details and areas of concern to determine the right tests. For minors, this session is for parents or guardians only. Testing fees are based on the evaluation required, and our team is happy to answer any questions about the process and costs.
What does it mean to be an out-of-network provider?
If Continuum Health Providers is out-of-network with your insurance plan for a particular service, you are responsible for payment at the time of service. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.
We can provide a Superbill that you may submit to your insurance company or a third-party service for possible reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement vary by plan and are not guaranteed.
We recommend contacting your insurance carrier before beginning services to understand your out-of-network benefits.
