THRIVE Ashewell
“The Collaborative Care Model”
American Psychiatric Association
At Ashewell, we don’t settle, and we don’t let cost or distance get in the way of care. We offer a collaborative care model to optimize our patients’ mental healthcare. If your primary care provider feels you need more than a referral to counseling or a simple medication, he or she will offer an integrative model of mental healthcare, all from the comfort of your primary care home. Ashewell members can take advantage of a unique and exclusive benefit for collaborative care.
KEY BENEFITS: Ashewell uses an evidenced based collaborative care model because it improves clinical outcomes and saves time and stress for our patients.
How it Works:
- Your doc refers you to Ashewell’s in-house therapist. The therapist reaches out by telephone, provides further assessment, and engages you in care. Our therapist works with you to set goals, provide counseling, monitor medications, and regularly assess symptoms.
- Need more? Our experienced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner can provide a comprehensive assessment for diagnosis and initiate medication management. Psychotherapy is also available.
- Your primary care provider, Psychiatric NP and therapist collaborate your care to optimize your wellness seamlessly and affordably.
- Enrollment in our collaborative program requires no minimum, however a 3 month commitment is recommended to optimize patient outcomes. Fees are billed monthly.
- Cost for collaborative care varies, depending on what resources are utilized and to what degree. The approximate service costs are $100-200/ hour, including the screening intake, and you are only billed for services rendered.
