Who has access to my records?

The rule covers the first phone call too, before you are a patient and whether or not you ever become one. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.

Can I get in today?

One place can take somebody today and another in the same town is a month out. Many programs start the admissions paperwork during the wait, so the day a bed opens is not spent on forms. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
