Accessing Clinic services through ACCESS, provides an effective and efficient way to bring persons into the appropriate level of clinical services with regard to their preferences, clinical needs, and financial considerations. When an inquirer calls a clinic to request outpatient services, he or she is immediately connected by phone or in person to an Access Clinician who provides a brief needs assessment, collects necessary personal and financial information, and offers an overview of how and when our outpatient services will begin. The clinician determines whether the person requires emergency, urgent or routine outpatient services and links the inquirer to the appropriate level of care. Such linkage may involve referral to our services or to other private providers or community services. The clinician links the inquirer to our Reimbursement staff who verifies and authorizes insurance coverage or establishes a fee for services and contacts the person to schedule outpatient services.
