This will help us determine if the program can effectively meet the individual’s needs. If psychological or psychoeducational testing has previously been completed, those records will need to be reviewed by your Admissions Specialist.
• You will need to submit medical records from your physician that includes a history & physical, growth curves and complete lab work within the last month to ensure medical stability. 
• We will provide you with the Insurance Verification Form to complete that allows us to check insurance benefits and link you to one of our Financial Specialists who can answer any questions you may have regarding the financial aspects of service.
• Once you complete the Insurance Verification Form and copy both sides of your insurance card, you can submit the documents to your Admissions Specialist. 
• Lastly, our psychiatrist will complete a psychiatric consultation and the adolescent will admit the following program day.

The speed of the admissions process varies based on individual circumstances and current program availability, but all efforts are made to have this process be smooth, efficient, and ensure that HopeWay is the best facility to meet each person's needs. To meet the admissions team, click HERE.
