FIRST TIME APPOINTMENT REQUEST FORM (CHILD & TEEN)


~~ Please note regarding appointment availability ~~
We are not currently accepting Medicaid plans, including Wellsense, NH Healthy Families, NH Healthy Kids, and Anthem Individual Marketplace Pathways plans. Please also note that in the month of April for psychologist or counseling appointments we have limited or no late afternoon or evening appointments due to extremely high counseling appointment demand, with the exception of those with Harvard Pilgrim, United Healthcare, Cigna, or Community Health Options plans, since all 70 of our providers participate with those health plans and therefore we have more scheduling flexibility.  For psychiatric medication related appointments, we currently have some afternoon and evening appointment openings, but no Saturday available appointments at this time.
NOTE ON PRIVACY:
Your privacy and confidentiality is VERY important to us. This site is secure and meets criteria for HIPAA privacy.  You will notice in the lower right hand corner of this web page a "lock" indicating that the information cannot be viewed while you complete it, and after it is submitted it is encrypted during transmission, and is sent to our administrative office in Nashua and can only be accessed via secure passwords known only by our administrative staff who schedule appointments.  Your personal information will only be viewed by them and the provider you will be seeing.  All our staff are trained thoroughly regarding your privacy rights and maintaining confidentiality.  Despite this assurance, we understand that some people may not feel comfortable answering some items.  If you choose to omit items, those with an * do require an answer or the form cannot be submitted, so please just type in "omit" wherever possible and this information can be gathered later over the phone to assist with scheduling your first time appointment.
 
The more information you are able to provide for us, the easier it will be to schedule your appointment and match you with a  provider who has expertise to help you.

Assisting you in obtaining the right care from a provider with expertise that can help you is very important to us.  On some occasions we find, based upon the information you provide us, that we will need one of our counselors or psychologists to speak with you to gather additional clinical information to help us match you with the correct provider, or to ensure that our practice can meet your clinical needs for type or level of care.  At times, we may find that we do not have a provider on staff who is a good match for the type of care you require, or we may determine after additional clinical information is gathered that  you would be best served by an alternate practice or facility specializing in the type or level of care you require.  If this is our determination, we will do our best to assist you by referring you to a local provider or community mental health center who offers the type of care or service needed to help you, and upon your written or email request and authorization, we could then forward a copy of this confidential information to you or a provider at another practice of your choice to assist you in scheduling an appointment or receiving care. 

Items below marked with an asterisk (*) require an answer.  If a question does apply to you and it does not have an (*), please feel free to leave blank.  If the answer is required, but you choose not to answer it, please type "omit" or check at least one box.
