How Does a Referral Get Started?
Most referrals come from a treating physician, case manager, or social worker. Patients may also be referred directly from an acute care setting.
Families who want to advocate for a loved one’s admission can contact Central Admissions directly, or reach out to their hospital’s clinical liaison to help coordinate care.
Referrals and admissions to Whittier’s Transitional Care Units are coordinated directly with each facility.
Admission Guidelines
Physicians and office staff should let our Central Admissions team know whether they are requesting an inpatient admission from a physician’s office or directly from home when calling (800) 442-1717.
Patient demographics, including insurance carrier and policy information, along with relevant clinical information, should be faxed to (978) 478-3040.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please dial 911.
