Your Appointment
Patients are seen by appointment. Please notify us if you will be late; you may be asked to reschedule. Since paperwork, metabolic monitoring, and testing may take a few minutes, we ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes early.
Please notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you will not be able to make your scheduled appointment. This will enable us to serve all patients in a timely manner.
If you are a new patient, you will be mailed paperwork to complete prior to your appointment. We ask that you bring your insurance card with you to each visit and notify us of any changes in your address, phone number, or insurance information.
It may be helpful for you to write down questions or important items that you hope to discuss prior to your visit. Psychiatric medications can interact with your other medications, so please bring a list of your medications and the dosages to each appointment, or just bring your medication bottles with you. It is very important that your psychiatric care providers know exactly what medications you are taking, especially at your first appointment and when medication changes are made by your other health care providers.
Insurance Plans
We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare, in-state Medicaid, Tricare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and others.
Medication Refills
Talk with your provider at each visit to be sure your prescriptions are up-to-date. For refills, contact your pharmacy. Your pharmacy will then contact our office for verification and approval. Allow 24-48 hours to process your refill request.
It is your responsibility to maintain the security of prescriptions such as stimulants and benzodiazepines. As a general rule, providers will not give you another prescription for these types of medications if you lose your prescription or medication bottle.
We do not prescribe narcotics of any type in our office. If you have pain concerns, please talk with your primary care doctor or other specialist. After our clinic has helped you achieve psychiatric stability and you have returned to the care of your primary care doctor, the prescriptions for your psychiatric medications will be managed by your primary care doctor.
