You can bring your own questions to a conversation with admissions.
Yes. A family member or supporter may call for general information or request a callback about treatment options. MVBH must still assess the adult seeking care and determine eligibility. Use only the requester’s contact details in the website form, without diagnoses, symptoms, medications, treatment records or other medical information.
No. A Vermont resident cannot join an MVBH virtual session while physically in Vermont. The participant must be in Massachusetts for every session. Virtual IOP also requires clinical appropriateness and individual eligibility, which are determined through assessment. A Vermont address, referral or earlier assessment does not change the physical-presence requirement.
Enter only the contact details needed to request a callback, such as name, phone number, email and best time to call. Do not enter symptoms, diagnoses, medications, substance use history, records or other medical details. Submitting the form begins contact; it does not confirm admission, coverage or a treatment start date.
MVBH can verify plan details, but coverage, authorization requirements and personal cost depend on the individual and proposed service. The insurer can explain the member’s benefits and possible responsibility. Confirm any work-leave eligibility and documentation requirements with the organization responsible for that benefit.
No. Continue following the hospital’s discharge instructions and directions from any named follow-up clinician. This map can clarify the difference between emergency, crisis and planned outpatient resources, but it cannot change the discharge plan. Call 911 if immediate danger develops. For suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, call or text 988.
