No. The website form accepts callback contact details only. Do not enter symptoms, diagnoses, medicines, treatment records or other clinical information. MVBH can provide the appropriate channel if information is needed during insurance verification, prescreen or intake. A callback request is not admission, a confirmed appointment or an emergency communication channel.
Do not wait for an admissions decision, website response or routine callback. MVBH is not an emergency service. Call or text 988 for crisis support. Call 911 when there is immediate danger. Existing emergency, hospital or clinician instructions should continue to be followed. A pending referral or possible outpatient plan does not replace urgent evaluation or emergency care.
