- +
-These should **NOT** be scheduled until the day of the appointment. The staff blocked for these appointments varies, but there will be holds on schedules to allow for this flexibility.  MONDAY-FRIDAY 7:30 CALL TO SCHEDULE. FCFS.+
  
-  * Anyone needing assistance with Insurance navigation (including Marketplace) or Spectra Plan should be scheduled as normal by the PSR team.   +**Same-Day Appointments**   
-  * If the patient has not been seen in our clinic or routinely seeks care within medical or BH, then they **MUST** be triaged by the Charge SS member on duty that day ahead of any scheduling. If they haven't seen SS staff for over a year, they have to be triaged once more. +  * PSRs may schedule for any reason   
-  * If a patient presents to the clinic, requesting assistance and the same-day appointment is taken, or they do not want to wait, inquire why they are needing to speak to SS staff and get their information to look up the MRN. Then state: "Please give me a few minutes as I reach out to our Social Services team and inquire if anyone is available to come out and see you. Please have a seat until I have an answer." +  * __Do not__ schedule until the day of the appointment   
-  *   * This way, the patient is away from the front desk in case another patient presents for checking in. Once SS staff has given you guidance on the situation, please relay that to the patient. +  * Staff availability varies; holds are placed for flexibility   
 +  * Call at **7:30 AM, Monday–Friday** — First Come, First Served

 +===== Additional information =====
  
-__The Housing Prioritization Tool (previously called the VISPDAT)__ is a vulnerability assessment for housing options. The reason we cannot all complete it is that you have to enter it into a different system that only Callie has access to, due to a previous grant position. Anybody who comes in specifically asking to complete a VISPDAT or Housing Prioritization Tool, should be referred to the Charge Social Services staff for the day to be triaged. Patients can also be referred to the Mission to complete this assessment.  +**Housing Prioritization Tool (HPT)**
