How admissions works

Starting is one conversation with the clinic.

Admissions is a conversation with the clinic, not a call center. Call (949) 670-9345 or write admissions@existcenters.com and we map PHP, IOP, outpatient, or a referral. We write back in one business day. Verification is not a guarantee of coverage. Benefits vary by plan.

  • The check

    A member ID and a date of birth. We contact the plan and map PHP, IOP, and outpatient for this member.

  • What we do not invent

    Copays, deductibles, and day counts. We do not say we accept all insurance. We tell you what the plan returned.

  • The house

    Truth House is only for Exist PHP or IOP. Insurance does not cover the house. Admissions talks through the room.

Starting is one conversation.

  1. 01

    Reach out

    Call (949) 670-9345 or send insurance. You talk to the clinic — not a call center.

  2. 02

    We map intensity

    PHP, IOP, weekly outpatient, or a referral. If the days fit and home is far, we talk through a room.

  3. 03

    A start date

    We write back in one business day. Then we set a date — and a Truth House room if you are coming from out of town.

Start with a conversation.

Call Exist at (949) 670-9345. We will say whether PHP, IOP, outpatient, or a referral is the honest next step — and whether a room at Truth House belongs with it.
