What can I expect at an assessment?
Your visit will start with a prompt check-in by our front desk staff and a brief meeting with one of our financial specialists. As a new client, you will participate in an assessment session that focuses on gathering information on your specific circumstances. Providing input on your preferences, history, relationships, and current needs will assist your counselor in working with you to develop goals that are meaningful to you as an individual. The assessment should last between one and a half to two hours. At the end of this initial session, you will have a Care Plan specially crafted by the counselor with your input. This Care Plan will recommend treatments with specific goals and target dates to lead you down the path to recovery.

Will my insurance pay for services at TCN?
In most cases, yes. TCN currently has counselors participating in 56 different insurance panels. At your initial appointment, TCN will contact your insurance company to obtain a pre-authorization for services recommended by your counselor. We will communicate with you throughout the process to ensure you understand your insurance benefits. In some cases, TCN will also be able to use the subsidy available to Greene County clients to cover the services your insurance does not.
If you have private insurance, call TCN at 937-376-8700 to speak with one of our support representatives. They will make their best effort to match you with a clinical counselor who is on your insurance panel.
I don’t have insurance. Can I afford treatment?
At your initial appointment, a TCN financial support representative will assist you to develop a clear understanding of how your services will be paid. TCN accepts all major insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid. If you are uninsured, TCN may offer a subsidy to assist you in paying for your services; depending on your county of residence. You will be asked to complete a financial survey which will help us determine – based on income and family size – the amount of co-pay you will be responsible for. Please be prepared to make a payment of at least $20.00 for your first session.
Will my care at TCN be kept confidential?
Yes. Beyond our adherence to the many State of Ohio and Federal HIPAA regulations, TCN values confidentiality and client care above all. Each TCN staff member, from our receptionist to the CEO, is trained on an annual basis about the principles of confidentiality. We will not release any information about your care without your consent. Click here to see a full listing of our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Do you provide telephone accessibility for the hearing impaired?
Yes. The Ohio Relay Service (ORS) provides full telephone accessibility to people who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard-of-hearing, or speech-disabled. ORS is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with no restrictions on the number of calls placed or on their length.
How to Place an ORS Call:
Dial (800) 750-0750.
Please have the telephone number that you wish to call ready in advance.
If you would like to use a Communications Assistant (CA) of the same gender, make that request when the CA answers your call.
Then give the phone number you are calling to the CA.
Voice users should speak clearly and at a moderate speed.
Direct your conversation to the party you are calling as if the CA were not present.
Please note: The CA is required to relay everything that you type or speak and will also relay all background noises. For example, a dog barking or people speaking in the background will be relayed.)
