How We Collaborate With Primary Care Providers

We highly value the role of each client's PCP and are intentional about working in partnership with, not in place of them.
If the primary care provider prefers to manage the medical care related to your eating disorder, that’s absolutely welcomed—we do not require clients to meet with our nurse practitioner.

However, if your PCP prefers that we monitor aspects such as labs, vitals, and stability, we are happy to do so and will:
● Share regular updates, lab results, and Eating Disorder treatment plans with the PCP
● Escalate concerns or refer back to the PCP when needed
● Collaborate closely to ensure continuity of care and appropriate transitions if medical complexity changes

Whether our provider is taking the lead on eating disorder-related medical management or simply providing consultation support, collaboration is at the heart of Unbound Recovery’s model.

This service may be helpful for:
● Clients needing weekly or frequent medical monitoring
