Contact Your Bleeding Disorder Treatment Team

HOW TO


Your bleeding disorder (BD) treatment team can help advocate on your behalf, educate the inpatient and residential treatment facilities about BD, and serve as an important resource to the staff throughout your stay. During the conversation with your BD treatment team, share all of the information you gathered in your initial contact with the facility following the denial. In addition:

  • People with BD across the country have been denied access to behavioral health facilities.

  • They can do this by coordinating with your referring provider and contacting the facility to encourage them to reconsider your admission.

    • The BD SUMHAC Provider Toolkit: This is a comprehensive guide for assisting providers in referring people with BD to behavioral health facilities and can facilitate admission.
