What to Expect

What does the Assessment Center process look like?

You make the call

  • When you are ready to get started, you can call us at (720) 696-7760 or complete this simple referral form and we will reach out to you to discuss your needs.
  • Once it is determined an assessment would be helpful for you, our team will work with you to schedule an assessment appointment.
  • Prior to an assessment, you will complete a short information packet. If insurance copays or self-pay fees are applicable, these will be due and collected at the time of service.

Your Assessment Appointment

  • Your licensed assessment clinician will explain the assessment process and answer any questions you have. Be prepared to discuss the following items:
  • Why are you seeking an assessment – what is your goal of getting an assessment?
  • Your complete history, including family/genetic history as it applies.
  • Symptoms: how long it has been happening, how it is impacting your daily life and relationships?

After you complete the assessment

  • If care is recommended you will be offered an appointment with our Care Connection Specialist. They will review your recommended treatment and discuss available options/resources. The bulk of this conversation will be identifying your preferences in a provider, including location, availability, etc.
  • Once you have chosen your top priority providers, your Care Connection Specialist will work with those agencies to assist with your treatment Assessment Center. This may include sending your assessment to that agency for their reference and referral. Please note: Some agencies may require additional paperwork for your initial appointment after assessment.
  • If care is not recommended or you requested a specialized assessment for your treating physician or care provider: With legal permissions, we will send your assessment directly to your treating provider, or we can connect you with our Medical Records department to request a copy of your assessment for distribution at your discretion.
