The Counseling Services program is part of the Nevada Chapter's continued effort to improve the quality of life of individuals and families affected by bleeding disorders. NBDFNV provides financial assistance to connect eligible community members with counseling services, based on availability of funding. 

Program Information

In response to requests from the bleeding disorders community, the Nevada Chapter has created a program in collaboration with Nevada Counseling Providers.  Providers located in the Las Vegas area and will provide both in-person, tele-health, and group counseling services for all approved applicants. 

The program is now available and is funded for one year. More information about our provider partners can be found on their websites:

The Practice at UNLV: https://www.unlv.edu/thepractice

Eligible applicants are individuals with a bleeding disorder or an immediate family member or designated caregiver of an individual with a bleeding disorder.  If your application is approved, NBDFNV will pay for up to eight (8) one-hour sessions that may also be renewable upon submission of an additional request in coordination with the Provider.  NBDFNV will facilitate the funding of the program and follow all federal and state laws, to include HIPAA privacy standards.  At no time will NBDFNV request or obtain any specific clinical information from the provider, ever.  Any information requested will be related to insurance coverage, if applicable, and the documented request for continued services as applicable. 

Continued payment of counseling services is dependent upon the amount of funding available. NBDFNV will never make a determination regarding the need for counseling services. This is between you and your provider.

This program is not intended to take the place of any current health insurance coverage you may have or any government program you may participate in, to include but not limited to Medicare or Medicaid.

This application is intended to obtain basic information on any health insurance coverage you may or may not have.  The questions in this application are used solely to determine you or your child’s eligibility in the NBDFNV Counseling Program and will not be used for any other purpose or shared with anyone except the provider that you are referred to for counseling upon approval.

ELIGIBILITY:

Prospective applicants will need to meet the following criteria:

Be a resident of Nevada and/or receive treatment from the Hemostasis & Thrombosis Center of Nevada

Be a parent or caregiver of a minor child who lives in your home and who has a diagnosis of a bleeding disorder OR be an individual with a diagnosed bleeding disorder.

Complete the Counseling Services Application and NBDFNV determines that the applicant qualifies for financial assistance pursuant to its Emergency Financial Assistance Policy.

ADMINISTRATION:

Counseling Services depend on the availability of funds and applicant eligibility.  Funding is not guaranteed.  Applicants should allow at least 10 business days for the NBDFNV to process their request and expect up to 14 days to schedule an appointment once approved. 

NBDFNV staff will review applications for completeness.  If the assistance request does not provide the necessary information, the staff member will contact the applicant for additional details.  If the request cannot be completed, then it will be denied.

Once an applicant has been determined to be qualified a referral will be sent to the provider notifying of eligibility of the applicant. The applicant will need to contact the provider to schedule an appointment. Failure to schedule an appointment within a reasonable amount of time and no call/no showing to a scheduled appointment may forfeit the applicants eligibility. 

The applicant will be notified about the decision within 10 business days of submitting the application via email or phone communications.
