Services

Referral

*All services provided by the PHP are managed with the strictest form of confidentiality.

It is our goal to provide each person with the services they need to recover, and PHP staff will work to develop an individualized approach for you.

The highly trained and experienced case management staff are available to help participants find the most appropriate resource for assessment. When calling, a case manager will conduct a brief screening to collect relevant information so we can provide the doctor, dentist or other eligible health care professional a list of providers who can complete an independent assessment. Any referral made by the PHP will be directed to providers who specialize in the assessment of health care professionals.

*The PHP does not provide any assessment or treatment services.
