How to refer a client to Monte Nido
Make a referral
Call our admissions team at 888-228-1253 or fill out the form below to refer your client. You may also reach out directly to your dedicated outreach manager if you need assistance with the process.
We’ll send you a confirmation email and, with your permission, reach out to your client directly. There is no further action needed from you at this time.
Introductory chat with your client
In a quick phone call, we’ll gather your client's information, answer questions, and discuss the best program for them. We may ask them to work further with you or other primary care providers to get lab results and medical information to us to help determine the appropriate level of care. We'll also ask them to fill out our medical evaluation form alongside their providers.
Virtual assessment with your client
We'll schedule a virtual clinical evaluation where an admissions counselor will assess your client's needs and explain our programs. If we have their medical info, we’ll expedite the care plan. We’ll review with our medical team and confirm insurance benefits and any costs.
Finalizing your client's care plan
Once we finalize a plan with your client, we’ll work with your client’s insurance for treatment authorization. With your client's permission, we may contact you or other outpatient providers for additional information and follow up with the client to confirm the details.
Frequently asked clinician questions
For all levels of care we provide updates with outpatient providers. We contact the outpatient team within 48 hours of a client’s admission to discuss treatment and how we will collaborate on ongoing care throughout the course of the clients stay with us. If a client is struggling we may reach out to set up a call to discuss treatment together.
In IOP treatment, we ask clients to start seeing their outpatient providers regularly in conjunction with Monte Nido’s programming. The goal is to aid clients in beginning their transition to life outside of Monte Nido care.
Please reference our Medical Evaluation Form for the labs and information we request for admission.
No. Our Inpatient Eating Disorder Programs are our most intensive level of care. At this hospital level of care, our primary goal is to stabilize patients which requires continuously monitoring vital signs and nursing supervision.
At the adult Residential living level of care, clients are still medically monitored, but the focus of treatment is to gradually transfer the responsibility of recovery to the clients themselves as they directly experience and relearn healthy attitudes and behaviors with food.
At the adolescent Residential living level, the program incorporates family involvement which has been shown to be effective for adolescents with eating disorders. Our programming is designed to promote the development of individual skills and family structure, provide a safe home environment, and allow for additional after-care services that continue the remaining therapeutic work.
Individuals 11 years old and above are treated in most adolescent residential programs, and 10 and above at our ARFID virtual intensive outpatient program. In some cases, we may apply for a waiver if an individual is under 11 and we deem them appropriate for one of our programs. Individuals are treated in adolescent programming until 18 years old. We also offer adult treatment.
Age requirements may differ per location. It's best to speak with our admissions team for your unique case.
