Admissions Process
Step 1: Call 1. 800.235.5570 x290
When you make your first call to Reasons Eating Disorder Center, you will speak with a member of our Admissions Team who will answer questions you may have about the program, start insurance paperwork with you for a complimentary benefit verification, and schedule your Clinical Consultation.
Step 2: Clinical Consultation
This is an assessment conducted prior to your admission by one of our trained therapists. It takes about 1 hour and can be done over the phone. We will ask you questions about the history and current symptoms of the eating disorder, medical issues, psychological factors, and social and occupational functioning. We will use this information to recommend which level of care might be most appropriate for you.
Step 3: Coordination of Admission
Once your Clinical Consultation is completed, our Admissions Team will review your benefits specific to the level of care recommended for you and connect you with our Business Office to make any necessary financial arrangements. We will then discuss an admission date with you and review practical items such as what items you should pack.
If you or someone you know is having thoughts of harming yourself or others, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room to seek treatment. The forms on this website are not to be used in emergency situations. Do not use the forms on this website or the email contact information for notification of an emergency situation.
Professional Referrals
If you are a professional helping your patient into a higher level of care, we are committed to working collaboratively with you to develop the best plan for your patient.
If your patient decides to seek treatment at Reasons, you will work with the program director and therapist to coordinate the details of your continuous involvement throughout your patients’ stay. We believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and will work to support that good work you are doing in the outpatient setting.

Insurance Assistance
We accept most major managed healthcare and medical insurance plans and offer affordable payment arrangements. We are contracted with a variety of plans; however if we are not contracted with your insurance company, they still may cover a portion of the costs.
Our admissions team can provide a complimentary benefit verification to determine what your coverage is and work to make financial arrangements for co-pays.
Even if our program is not the right fit, we can often offer suggestions for referrals and resources, so please give us a call so we can discuss your unique needs. We are here to help.
