Introducing a New Mental Health Program with Signature Health.

Please do not lose hope, there is help! The Lupus Foundation of America, Greater Ohio Chapter knows how challenging it is, emotionally and mentally, to live with a chronic illness. This is why we have established a partnership with Signature Health to ensure that Ohio lupus patients have access to mental health support.

Who is Signature Health? Signature Health is non-profit, Federally Qualified Health Center providing health, addiction recovery, and primary care services to people across Ohio, via telehealth and in-person at locations in Ashtabula, Beachwood, Lakewood, Maple Heights, Painesville, and Willoughby. They have a team of experienced counselors, case managers, psychiatry providers, and nurses who work together to provide compassionate care.

The program will provide a 90-minute diagnostic evaluation to help determine the best mental health services for you. If you do not have a Medicaid or Medicare insurance plan that is accepted by Signature Health, the Lupus Foundation of America, Greater Ohio Chapter will cover the costs of the evaluation and two counseling sessions per month for a period of two months (while available funding lasts). Signature Health’s financial representatives also will be available to answer questions about covered benefits.

Get Started: Mental health matters, especially when dealing with a chronic illness. To take advantage of this program, please fill out the digital form.
