In addition to reviewing clinical needs our intake coordinators also verify payment options and obtain the necessary authorizations. In order to optimize client follow through our intake coordinators work to set expectations and identify barriers to further treatment, such as; transportation, cultural or linguistic issues, and the stage of readiness for exchange. This decreases confusion by providing one point of access.
