Provider's Policy

Equip's one-step insurance screener lets you know whether our program is currently in-network with your health plan.

Equip is a fully virtual eating disorder program that integrates into daily life and evolves with the patient. Each patient is matched with a multidisciplinary, 5-person care team that remains with them throughout their entire recovery journey, instead of “stepping down” to new care teams and environments. Covered by insurance and with no waitlist, Equip offers personalized support for all eating disorder diagnoses — because recovery is never one-size-fits-all.

Receive Well-Rounded Support

Equip combines clinical expertise with lived experience to give patients the comprehensive support they need. They use only leading, evidence-based treatment modalities to craft a personalized care plan. They match each patient with a dedicated care team that provides therapy, nutritional counseling, medical care, and mentorship. Beyond provider sessions, patients and their loved ones have access to support groups, workshops, meal support, body image work, and more.

Connect in Virtual Support Groups

Equip offers dozens of virtual support groups each week, welcoming patients and loved ones to connect anonymously. Groups span a wide range of identities and needs. Patients can join spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ adults and teens, men, BIPOC patients, athletes, and more. Caregiver groups focus on skill-building and shared experience, including groups specifically for those supporting Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) or gender-diverse patients, for example.

Make a Plan to Prevent Relapse

One reason Equip seeks insurance authorization for up to a year of treatment is to help patients prevent relapse during early recovery. Each patient works with their team on a relapse prevention plan to prepare for triggers and stressors. Even after stabilization, the care team remains involved, offering a safety net as patients navigate challenges during the vulnerable first few months in recovery.

Adapt Treatment to Individual Needs

Equip gets to know each patient and develops a personalized treatment plan that pulls from the leading evidence-based approaches to best meet their needs. Treatment first focuses on normalizing eating habits and weight restoration (if needed), then shifts to a customized blend of interventions to challenge unhelpful mindsets, address unique symptoms, regulate emotions, and prevent relapse.
