Exceptions to Primary Enrollment Criteria
Unyte acknowledges that there may be exceptions to the primary enrollment criteria as stated above. For this reason we have established secondary provider criteria and we encourage potential providers who fall into the “Other” category on our list of approved providers to submit an application for consideration.
Our process for reviewing applications for exception:
- Prevents excluding potential providers who are sufficiently skilled to implement our tools despite not meeting the established primary criteria
- Helps to ensure all providers have the proven clinical skills and reasoning to safely administer Unyte listening programs within the context of their chosen clinical disciplines
- Establishes consistency in our expectation that providers will have demonstrated core clinical competencies and clinical reasoning
- Upholds the value of evidence-based practice
- Supports clinical confidence amongst our provider community
- Application for Exception is submitted by a potential provider. The application for consideration to become a Unyte provider must be submitted in its entirety.
- Submitted applications are reviewed by our clinical team and are approved on a case-by-case basis.
- Applicants should expect to hear from one of our team members regarding the decision to approve or decline the application within 5 business days.
- A Unyte team member will reach out to the Applicant if additional information or clarification regarding the application is required.
- All Applicants are encouraged to spend approximately 30-45 minutes completing the application form. The more complete the information, the easier it will be for our team to make an informed decision.
- Following approval, professionals will be given access to enroll in the product specific training(s) of their choice.
The following is a list of specific criteria that will be used to evaluate applications to become a Unyte Provider.
