Common questions
Words to ground the next step.
Patients get quick answers before they share sensitive details or commit to a care path.
What kind of support do I need first?
Start with symptoms, urgency, and whether medication, therapy, addiction support, or a combined plan feels most relevant.
Will my insurance be checked before booking?
Yes. NDH uses intake details to review coverage or self-pay options before an appointment path is confirmed.
Can I receive care from home?
Eligible Maryland and DC patients can complete intake and attend appointments virtually through secure care workflows.
What if this is urgent?
If there is immediate danger, call 911. For crisis support, call or text 988 before using the regular intake path.
