Using a pre-admission assessment we determine if a patient is medically appropriate for our program. If we determine that a patient can be treated by our services, we verify insurance and agree on financial terms. If our doctors request additional medical information, we will obtain that prior to admission. Our intake manager then schedules the admission date and time.
