Step 2: Equip contacts the patient
After this initial referral, our admissions team will carry out the rest of the enrollment process. Within one day, we will reach out to the patient or their family to talk to them about Equip treatment. We’ll verify their insurance coverage and medical readiness. We also update referring providers at each step to ensure you're informed.
Step 3: Treatment can begin
Once your patient is cleared for treatment, they’ll immediately begin meeting with their Equip care team. From there, we maintain ongoing collaboration with referring providers, keeping you updated on key milestones. We also provide a live nurses line you can utilize at any time.

Why Equip is different
We rigorously monitor outcomes and utilize evidence-based treatment modalities (e.g., CBT-E, DBT, FBT, TBT-S). Care plans are tailored to meet each patient's unique needs, including co-occurring conditions.
Each patient has access to a dedicated care team who address every angle of the eating disorder, supporting as needed with therapy, nutrition counseling, medical care, psychiatry, and mentorship.
Equip is fully virtual and covered by insurance; expanding access to specialized, culturally competent eating disorder experts regardless of a patient’s location or background.
Instead of uprooting and moving through different levels of care, our virtual treatment enables patients to stay in their community and with their dedicated Equip care team throughout recovery, reducing the likelihood of relapse.
