Uhs Of Laurel Heights

The website describes Laurel Heights as a private acute hospital and intensive residential treatment center, so the available information is about patient admission rather than public-school enrollment; families or referrers start by contacting the Admissions Department at 404-888-5475 or 800-634-5437, and the hospital also offers no-cost confidential assessments 24/7. (laurelheightshospital.com) For residential treatment, an initial phone referral is acceptable, but admission cannot move forward until a written packet is submitted; the hospital says it reviews enough clinical information within one business day to decide whether the child is clinically appropriate, then seeks insurance authorization if approved. (laurelheightshospital.com) Required/expected materials include recent psychiatric and psychological evaluations, current medications, discharge summaries, counseling notes, school records/IEP if available, placement history, custody status, and documentation for ongoing medical conditions; acute inpatient referrals also require labs and medical clearance for admission. (laurelheightshospital.com) The site does not list fixed application deadlines or term-based key dates; instead, admissions appear to be rolling, with timing driven by completion of records, clinical review, and insurer approval. (laurelheightshospital.com) On waitlists and priority categories, Laurel Heights says it cannot promise to hold a spot until all parts of the admissions process are complete but can place a child on a waiting list, and the website does not describe any formal public-style priority categories beyond clinical fit, age/program eligibility, and insurance/medical-necessity review.
