Step 3 – Attend the Diagnostic Assessment Appointment

Your child will meet with a licensed mental health clinician for a comprehensive evaluation. We will review symptoms, history, needs, and goals to determine the most appropriate level of care. This meeting allows us to know more about your situation and for you to learn more about our services. Both the child and parents should attend.

For IOP patients, after the session we will contact you with a decision if the child/adolescent is approved for our program or if we would recommend another course of treatment in the mental health treatment spectrum. If not approved, we’ll provide alternative resources, if possible.

See our Care Levels diagram for more information on the mental health treatment spectrum.

What to Expect During the Assessment

The diagnostic assessment typically takes 60–90 minutes and includes conversation with both the child and parent/caregiver. Our clinicians use evidence‑based tools to fully understand emotional, behavioral, and social concerns.

Insurance & Payment Information 

Aris Clinic accepts most major commercial insurance and prepaid medical assistance plans (PMAPs) including Aetna, BlueCross Blue Shield, Cigna, HealthPartners, Medica, PreferredOne, Ucare, and United Health Care. If your insurance doesn’t cover the IOP, we also offer a sliding fee scale and financial assistance to those who qualify. Please contact your insurance plan directly to verify coverage for mental health services.

Step 4 – Intake Appointment for IOP Patients

If your child is recommended for IOP, we’ll contact you to set up an intake date and time. This visit covers treatment planning, program expectations, and next steps before beginning services.

In the meantime, please contact us with any questions at 651-259-9750 or info@aris-clinic.com.
