Provider Referral and Information Cost Share

The Provider Share membership was created to help ease the burden of new client inquires. With mental health needs on the rise, our own inquires have skyrocketed. Along with our virtual assistant, we have created an excellent streamlined response system to handle all incoming calls, emails, and online form submissions. Our virtual assistant will apply this same system to return calls and emails on behalf of your practice when you are unable to take on new clients. Each inquiry will receive a response within 24-48 hours of the virtual assistant receiving contact information, along with a record of the inquiry and when they were contacted. As a Provider Share member, you are also included in our community resource database. Provider Share members with availability for new clients will receive priority for referrals. If you have a particular therapist you would like the virtual assistant to refer to, you are welcome to include that information as well. All potential Provider Share members will be vetted through references to ensure all inquiries are being referred to a therapist capable of handling their needs.

ATC's Provider Referral & Information Cost Share
annual membership: $75
monthly fee (phone calls only): $10
monthly fee (phone + email) $15
That works out to the peace of mind that client phone calls are returned and referred out to appropriate resources for approximately $16.25 a month ($21.25 including emails).
Athens Therapy Co-op is an extension of Athens Center for Counseling and Play Therapy. The co-op was created to support therapists in private practice. Athens Therapy Co-op (ATC) assumes the following responsibilities for members of the Provider Referral and Information Cost Share:
​
• Professional & experienced virtual assistant to return phone calls
and provide referral information to prospective clients
• Inclusion in community resource database
• Weekly emails for therapists to update their availability as
needed
• Training of virtual assistant for responding to general inquiry
calls for mental health
• Financial liability of the cost share, should it cost more than
anticipated. For 6 months, ATC will cover the cost of the VA with
no increase in participant fees.
• Contract with VA, paying VA, filing taxes related to VA
• Signed BAA with Virtual Assistant for HIPAA compliance
• Setting up and streamlining referral process

Athens Therapy Co-op does not offer or assume responsibility for:
•  crisis call management
• scheduling or canceling client appointments
• insurance or private pay billing
• unlimited use of VA (VA will note if there are certain providers
who are utilizing the service for significantly more time than
others, and ATC will address if needed
• night or weekend availability
•  on-demand exclusive access (VA has other work as well)
• any additional services other than those listed here. If you need
Adrian to do additional tasks, feel free to contract with her to do
so if she has the availability. She's great.

Our virtual assistant: Adrian Dunegan, owner of ONYX Admin Solutions. Adrian handles all the referrals for ACCPT/ATC: returns client phone calls and emails, provides appropriate community referrals, keeps up with our extensive referral spreadsheet, and has helped us streamline our referrals to community resources.
