No. Every virtual session requires the participant to be physically present in Massachusetts. A Concord resident may contact MVBH and may travel to Massachusetts, but cannot participate virtually while located in New Hampshire. Virtual care is considered only when clinically appropriate, and individual eligibility and program fit are determined through assessment.
No. A referral packet, confirmation of receipt or assessment appointment does not equal accepted admission or a guaranteed start date. Admissions may still need to clarify eligibility, clinical fit, current availability, scheduling and practical access. Continue following current treatment or discharge instructions unless the clinician responsible for those directions changes them.
A therapist’s packet does not establish insurance coverage or personal cost. Ask whether MVBH is in network for the proposed service and confirm authorization rules, deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and benefit limits with the health plan. Keep insurance benefits separate from clinical fit, admission, availability and start dates. A benefits check does not guarantee payment or admission.
Do not rely on a referral packet, callback form or routine admissions inquiry for an emergency. MVBH is not an emergency service. If there is immediate danger or a life-threatening situation, call 911. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Follow any current emergency or safety directions from the adult’s treating professionals.
