Follow-up Appointment

Service Description

Follow-up appointment: (2nd visit and beyond) Medication management involves follow up/continuation after your initial new patient psychiatric evaluation. In efforts to optimize health, you and the healthcare provider will fine tune your treatment plan. Adjustments to the treatment plan are made jointly. Referrals, additional evaluations and other recommendations are reviewed. Friendly Reminders During Your Follow-Up Visit: 1. Ask your psychiatric provider questions, including: diagnosis/problem, as what tests, if necessary, are needed. 2. Make sure that you obtain a clear understanding on what your role is in treating your condition, as well as what you can do in the future to prevent any recurrences. 3. Make sure you understand any possible side effects of any of the medications your psychiatric provider prescribes during your office visit. **If you are an existing patient and have NOT had an appointment in more than ONE calendar year (eg: 365 days), you are considered a NEW patient. You are required to book a New Patient Appointment**
