It is your responsibility, as the patient, to obtain the requested examinations. Failure to complete these tests within a reasonable time may result in delay with refilling active medication or prescribing certain medications. Urine drug screenings, as deemed necessary, are conducted on patients. Initial drug screening is mandatory for those prescribed controlled medications, and random screenings throughout treatment. The patient is responsible for any charges associated with urine drug screenings not covered by the insurance company.

“In every darkness, a light awaits, Though shadows loom and trials abate, Your spirit, strong, shall find its way, To brighter, clearer, calmer days.”
“In storms that rage and winds that blow, Your strength endures, it starts to grow, For every step, a path appears, Amidst the doubts, amid the fears.”

Practice Process pertaining to medications
Medication Refills: As the patient, it is your responsibility to inform your provider during scheduled appointments if you require a medication refill. The provider maintains the right to decline refill requests in instances of missed appointments or frequent cancellations. Such actions could result in dismissal from the practice. Refills will not be issued after hours or on weekends. Please notify the provider before running out of medications and allow up to 3 business days for the refill process.
Controlled Medications: Per legal requirements, an in-person appointment is necessary for the prescription of controlled substances. No prescriptions for controlled substances will be issued without an initial in-person consultation.
Controlled Substances (e.g., stimulants such as Adderall, Vyvanse, Focalin, Benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Klonopin) can only be prescribed in intervals of no more than three months. Appointments must be attended to receive refills due to the strict regulation of these medications. If a controlled medication is lost, it will not be rewritten until the next scheduled refill time. Patients on controlled medications undergo random urine drug screenings while on controlled medications. The provider reserves the right to refuse medication refills and/or dismiss a patient from the practice if urine drug screenings are not completed as requested.
