Referral Process – It’s Easy
- A referral is made by placing a call to the designated liaison or by calling our admissions office at 503-257-5667 to request a patient evaluation.
- A clinical liaison completes an on-site evaluation and verifies insurance eligibility – usually the same day. The liaison is happy to meet with you and your family to discuss information about Vibra and answer any questions you may have.
- Authorization from the insurance company is obtained.
- A team of clinicians at Vibra will review the patient’s clinical assessment in preparation for the transfer to Vibra.
- Any special equipment or service needs are determined prior to arrival.
- The clinical liaison works with the referring facility to ensure a seamless transfer to Vibra Specialty Hospital.
