Referring to Hillside

The clinical referral helps our treatment team determine if and where a client would be a good clinical fit in Hillside’s service array. The clinical referral is also instrumental in helping the admissions team advocate for the client with their insurance during the pre-authorization process to approve funding for treatment.

The information our team needs from the current treating provider includes:

  • Diagnostic impressions
  • Current symptoms
  • History of treatment and medication
  • Reasons that the provider is recommending a higher level of care at this time

This information can be in a written clinical summary letter, copies of recent clinical notes, or through the completion of the clinical referral form.

The clinical information can be submitted to admissions@hside.org or faxed to 404-892-1770.
