  1. Begin with admissions

    Call admissions or request a callback using contact details only. Ask what referral information is currently needed.

  2. Complete the required permission

    If records are requested, confirm the needed authorization and approved secure delivery method before sending them.

  3. Track the request

    Keep any authorization copy and sender confirmation so you can accurately describe what was requested or sent.

  4. Resolve gaps before travel

    No verified receipt, incomplete-material or next-decision process is supplied on this page. Plan travel from Bangor only after appointment details are confirmed.

Virtual presence rule

An eligible participant must be physically located in Massachusetts during every virtual session, including Virtual IOP.

Bangor is the reader’s starting location, not an MVBH office or an advertised site of care.

Care location details

MVBH offers adult Full Day Treatment, Half Day Treatment and outpatient care. In-person participation takes place in Amesbury, MA. Assessment determines clinical fit, while current schedules, insurance details, personal costs and eligibility require individual review through admissions.

Virtual IOP may be considered when clinically appropriate, but the participant must be physically present in Massachusetts during every virtual session. Maine residence, a referral or an assessment does not remove that requirement. Confirm appointment details before planning regular travel.

What happens after records questions are addressed?

Possible group therapy and Half Day Treatment can be discussed after assessment. Admissions may need to speak with the adult before discussing an appropriate level of outpatient care or next steps. Records do not determine clinical fit by themselves or replace instructions from current clinicians.

Check completeness

Keep the authorization and any sender confirmation together for accurate follow-up.

Name the next action

Record the next contact, its purpose and the expected follow-up point.

Preserve current care

Keep following existing clinician or discharge instructions while assessment, records review and scheduling remain unresolved.

Follow-up and safety

Keep a short record of calls, authorizations and follow-up dates, especially when a loved one is helping. Preserve the adult’s privacy and decision-making role. Until care begins, continue following directions from the current clinician or discharge provider unless that responsible professional changes the plan.

The Maine Office of Behavioral Health provides separate state behavioral health information. For immediate danger, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, call or text 988.

Your questions

More about Records transfer planning from Bangor, Maine

You can bring your own questions to a conversation with admissions.

Can I send records through the MVBH website contact form?

No. Do not enter diagnoses, symptoms, medication information, treatment notes, records or other clinical details in the website form.

May a family member request records for another adult?

Not automatically. A family member may offer support, but permission may be needed before a therapist or other provider communicates with MVBH. The adult should understand who may exchange information and for what purpose. MVBH can answer general treatment questions while respecting the adult’s privacy and decision-making role.

Does transferring records guarantee admission or a particular program?

No verified records-transfer requirement or effect is supplied on this page.

Should current treatment stop while records are being reviewed?

No treatment or medication change should be made simply because records are moving. Continue following the directions of the adult’s current clinician, prescriber or named discharge provider unless that responsible professional changes the plan. A new referral should not replace existing discharge directions, prescriptions, appointments or follow-up contacts.

What if the adult needs urgent help while the transfer is pending?

MVBH is not an emergency service and does not provide hospital, inpatient, residential, overnight or onsite detox care. Do not rely on a pending referral or records question for an urgent response. If there is immediate danger, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, call or text 988. Continue following any safety instructions from current clinicians.

Turn the checklist into a focused admissions conversation

When you are ready, use the callback request with contact details only or review the admissions process. Ask admissions to confirm current records-transfer instructions. Keep following current clinicians’ instructions unless they change them.
