Our process

Start with an in-depth, no-cost phone conversation with our Patient Engagement team.

We’ll:

• Learn about your mental health and medication history
• Explain our treatment options in detail
• Answer any questions you have

How to get started:
Fill out our web form, and our team will reach out by phone and email within 24 business hours.

Wondering about cost? After your consultation, we’ll run a benefits assessment to confirm your insurance coverage for the treatments you’re interested in.

Please note: This is not a guarantee of coverage, but it helps you understand what to expect financially.

Once your new patient consultation is scheduled, we’ll text and email you the required intake forms. These must be completed and submitted by the deadline specified in our email to avoid cancellation.

Medication History: Some treatments require proof that you’ve tried three or more antidepressants before insurance will cover them. To speed up prior authorization, include:

• Names of medications
• Dates prescribed
• Dosages

Tip: Contact your pharmacy or current provider for records.

Your first appointment is an in-depth 90 – 120-minute, in-person visit with one of our Interventional Psychiatrists (MD physicians).

During this session:

• We’ll review your full mental health history
• Discuss treatment options
• Typically, you’ll decide on a treatment plan before you leave

We work with your primary psychiatrist and therapist as a member of your treatment team (Breakthru psychiatrists do not manage your medications).

Insurance Authorization: If prior authorization is needed, your doctor will submit the request. Approval usually takes 1–3 weeks.

Once insurance approval is received, our front office will call to schedule your treatment sessions.

• Your entire treatment protocol will be scheduled in advance
• Regular follow-up appointments with your Breakthru interventional psychiatrist ensure progress is monitored and adjustments are made as needed
