What to Expect as a New Patient

Thank you for trusting Signature Health with your care! To establish mental health or addiction recovery care, the first step is completing a 90-minute assessment. These appointments are typically scheduled in advance, or we offer drop-in options Monday through Friday.

Please bring the following to your first appointment:

  1. ID 
  2. Insurance card 
  3. Social Security number of the patient
  4. Custody or guardianship documents (if applicable)
  5. A current list of medications

If you do not have insurance, please also bring:

  1. Proof of household income to apply for our sliding fee scale. This can include your last 2-3 pay stubs, bank statement, SSI Award Letter, or letter of support if no other proof is available.
  2. Proof of residency (where you live) which can be a piece of government-issued mail (cell phone bill, utility bill, bank statement, etc.)

If you don’t have any of these items, please let us know.

Check-In Process

To save time on the day of your appointment, you can complete the pre-check-in process using MyChart, up to two days in advance. All behavioral health patients are asked to complete the BASIS-24 assessment, every few months. This is a 24-question tool that helps you and your provider know if we are helping you feel better. For in-person appointments, check in at the desk. For telehealth visits, learn more here
