The admission process details describe the path from first contact to care, while the contact-details form requests a callback. After a call or form submission, the sequence is insurance verification and prescreen, intake, then treatment if accepted. A callback or referral does not confirm admission or a start date.
If a hospital, emergency department or current clinician is involved, continue following their instructions while MVBH considers admission. Existing discharge documents and named clinicians remain the source of post-discharge directions. Keep practical family reminders and any safe arrangements for work, caregiving or appointments in place until a new plan is established.
Admissions may still need to complete insurance verification, prescreen and intake before care can begin.
