Choose How You Would Like to Begin
You do not need to complete every pathway below. Choose the one that best applies to you.
Guided Care
Best if you are unsure what type of psychiatric service you need, would like help determining the appropriate next step, or want to tell our Care Team more about your care situation before proceeding.
The Guided Intake allows you to provide information about your care needs, location, symptoms, insurance status, and other relevant details so SacredHLI can help identify an appropriate pathway.
Start Guided Intake →Ready to Self-Pay
Best if you already know the psychiatric service you need and want to proceed without using commercial insurance for the visit.
Initial psychiatric evaluations and medication-management follow-ups are available through SacredHLI’s secure private-pay pathway.
View Self-Pay Options →Use Commercial Insurance
SacredHLI currently coordinates its commercial insurance pathway through participating clinicians using Headway.
Begin by completing SacredHLI’s Commercial Insurance Intake so our team can review your state, insurance plan, and available clinician pathway before establishing the applicable Headway-supported insurance process.
Start Insurance Review →Financial Access Review
Best if SacredHLI’s standard self-pay rate presents a financial hardship and you would like management to consider your individual circumstances.
Tell us which service you are seeking, what you can reasonably afford, and the financial circumstances you would like SacredHLI to consider.
Request Financial Access Review →Complimentary 15-Minute Psychiatry Consultation
If you would like to speak with a SacredHLI psychiatric provider before deciding whether to begin care, you may request a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. This brief conversation gives you an opportunity to ask general questions, better understand SacredHLI’s psychiatric-care pathways, and decide whether you would like to proceed.
To request the consultation, begin with SacredHLI’s Commercial Insurance Intake below and select Complimentary 15-Minute Phone Consultation under Requested Service.
The demographic and insurance information you provide helps SacredHLI identify an appropriate provider and prepare the appropriate care and insurance pathway if you decide to proceed. Requesting the consultation does not obligate you to begin treatment.
The complimentary consultation is informational and does not include diagnosis, treatment, medication prescribing, or establishment of an ongoing clinician-patient relationship.
Before You Begin
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- SacredHLI’s telepsychiatry footprint includes California, Colorado, Arizona, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada.
- New-patient appointments are currently available in California, Arizona, and Texas. Colorado, Georgia, and Nevada are temporarily not accepting new patients.
- For telehealth care, you must be physically located in the state associated with your appointment at the time the visit is provided.
- You are seeking psychiatric care rather than therapy-only services.
- Provider availability, state licensure, payer participation, and clinical appropriateness may affect available pathways.
- SacredHLI is not an emergency department or crisis-response service.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. For suicide, mental health, or emotional crisis support in the United States, call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency department.
Self-Pay Psychiatric Services
If you already know the type of psychiatric service you need and do not intend to use commercial insurance for the visit, you may proceed through the appropriate secure self-pay pathway.
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation
For new patients who need a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, diagnostic assessment, and treatment planning.
- Comprehensive psychiatric assessment
- Review of symptoms and relevant history
- Medication assessment when clinically appropriate
- Treatment-plan discussion
Medication Management Follow-Up
For patients continuing psychiatric care after an evaluation or with an established SacredHLI medication-management plan.
- Medication response review
- Symptom and progress assessment
- Medication-management follow-up
- Ongoing PMHNP care planning
Patients seeking possible out-of-network reimbursement should confirm their own health-plan requirements. When appropriate, documentation may be available after services are rendered. Reimbursement is determined by the patient’s health plan and is not guaranteed by SacredHLI.
Insurance Pathway Request
SacredHLI currently coordinates commercial insurance-based psychiatric care through participating clinicians using Headway. Available insurance pathways depend on the patient’s state, health plan, clinician participation, provider availability, and final eligibility verification.
Complete SacredHLI’s Commercial Insurance Intake below. SacredHLI will review your information first and, when an appropriate participating pathway is available, establish the applicable Headway-supported insurance process and next step. You do not need to leave SacredHLI to begin this process.
If you would first like to speak with a SacredHLI psychiatric provider before deciding whether to proceed with treatment, select Complimentary 15-Minute Phone Consultation under Requested Service. The intake information helps SacredHLI prepare the appropriate provider and insurance pathway if you later decide to continue. Selecting the complimentary consultation does not obligate you to begin treatment.
Submission of this form does not guarantee insurance coverage, clinician availability, or acceptance for care. Do not make a private self-pay payment for the same intended visit while waiting for an insurance-pathway review.
Insurance coverage, eligibility, and patient financial responsibility are determined through the applicable payer and Headway-supported pathway. SacredHLI remains your starting point for intake, care coordination, and appointment progression.
Guided Care & Guided Intake
Guided Care is intended for patients who are not yet sure which SacredHLI clinical or patient-access pathway applies to them, or whose care circumstances require additional review before moving forward.
The Guided Intake allows you to tell us more about your symptoms, psychiatric care needs, telehealth location, insurance information, and other relevant care circumstances. SacredHLI can then use that information to help identify an appropriate next step.
Start Guided Intake →Guided Care is not an emergency service and completion of an intake request does not establish a clinician-patient relationship or guarantee acceptance for care.
Financial Access Review
SacredHLI’s nonprofit mission includes working to reduce financial barriers that may prevent people from accessing appropriate psychiatric care. If our standard self-pay rate presents a significant financial hardship, you may request an individualized Financial Access Review.
The review gives you an opportunity to tell SacredHLI management which service you are seeking, what amount you believe you can reasonably afford, the type of assistance you are requesting, and the financial circumstances you would like us to consider.
SacredHLI management will review your request individually and determine whether a reduced fee, payment arrangement, temporary hardship accommodation, or another appropriate access pathway may be available.
Request a Financial Access Review →Financial assistance is not guaranteed and depends on individual circumstances and available resources. If you are requesting financial-hardship consideration, please wait for SacredHLI’s review and instructions before making a self-pay payment.
