Whether you need a referral depends on your specific insurance plan.

Most clients do not need a referral, but some plans may require one before services are covered.


🔍 When might a referral be required?

A referral may be required if:
    •    your insurance plan requires authorization from your primary care provider
    •    your plan has specific requirements for specialist visits
    •    your coverage is limited to certain conditions or diagnoses


📊 What happens if a referral is required?

If your plan requires a referral and one is not provided:
    •    your session may not be covered by insurance
    •    you may be responsible for the cost of the visit


🔁 How do I know if I need a referral?

Before your first appointment, we verify your insurance benefits to check for any requirements, including referrals.

If a referral is needed, we will notify you.


⚠️ Important to know
    •    Referral requirements vary by insurance plan
    •    Even if a referral is required, you can still attend your appointment
    •    Coverage may be affected if requirements are not met
