Steps to Making a TCM Referral
Anyone may make a referral for TCM services; it is not limited to the client’s mental health therapist, as persons being recommended for TCM may not currently be connected to an outpatient therapy provider. However, the client must have a mental health diagnosis given by a previous provider. It is not necessary for a client to currently be insured to obtain TCM services; if a client is uninsured, we can support the client in the application process for Medical Assistance.
Step 1: Speak with the client that you will be referring and inform them that you are making a referral on their behalf to Leading By Example for the specific services that you are requesting.
Step 2: Complete either a hard copy or electronic referral form with all necessary client information.
