Policy for Visit, Prescription refills and Payments:
We would like to welcome you to our office. The following is information about office policies we think you may find useful. After you have had the opportunity to review our policies, please sign two copies, and keep one for your records.If you call our office for routine (appointments, refills, cancellation) and the phone is not answered, please leave a message with your full name, reason for calling, and both day and evening numbers and your call will be returned as quickly as possible.
Visits:
As specialists in Psychopharmacology, our physicians will closely manage any medication they may prescribe for you by scheduling your office visits as often as needed until you are well and then by scheduling maintenance visits to keep you well till you and your doctor agree than you have reached your goals. Should you choose to have our physicians manage your medication and refill your prescriptions, we ask that you visit every 3months at minimum. Your General practitioner or another psychiatrist may feel comfortable with less frequent visits. If you choose, we can discharge you and transfer your records.
If for any reason you have not had a session with your physician and need a refill without changes after 3 months, we will schedule a 5 minute phone appointment with your doctor at a cost of $185. If you are not doing well and need any prescription changes you will need to schedule a full phone session. Any patient who has not been seen for 12 months will be considered a new patient.
If you are late for your appointment, our physician will be still able to see you for the time remaining of your session. You will be billed for the time of the original appointment. If you arrive after your session is fully over we will be more than happy to reschedule your appointment; however you will be billed for missed session.
Prescription refills:
Because we require visits every 3 months and refill medications at each visit you should not need to routinely call for prescription refills. If for any reason, you find you do need refills between appointments, please call at least 72hours before you will run out of medicine and leave the following information: your name, date of birth, phone number, medication name, dose, frequency and pharmacy number.
Because your physician may be out of the office and away from her records, there is a 3-business day turnaround time required for prescription refill processing.
If “emergency” prescriptions are required between appointments more than twice a year a fee of $75.00 will be charged.Controlled substance prescriptions must be picked up at the office or sent by certified mail for a fee of $9 (card information required to be on file)
Payments
* All payments due at the time of visit. No exceptions.
* Payment can be made cash, check, or credit card
* There will be a $25.00 fee for returned checks.
* In the event your account has to be turned over to a collection agency, you will be responsible for fees incurred as a result.
* Minors who are not accompanied by parents for each visit must have credit card information on file with a signed authorization to charge card for each session.
* Patients scheduling a Phone Session must providepayment card information at the time of scheduling an appointment.
