Identification Policy

All patients must present a valid, non-expired state issued Driver's License, state issued ID card, US Passport or Passport ID card.

 

Cancellation Policy

We know your life is busy and we value your time. With that in mind, our office does not double-book patients and requires 24-business hours notice to cancel or change an appointment.  If proper notice is not provided, a no show fee of $75 will be charged.

 

Confidentiality Policy

Ultimate Psychiatry takes patient privacy very seriously. As part of our new patient packet, the full HIPAA-Patient Privacy Notice will be provided, and each patient will acknowledge and sign off of their review of the policy.

​

Prescription Policy

Our office provides refills and renews prescriptions only during appointments. This practice reduces prescription errors, improves patient safety and encourages appropriate follow-up. Patients will receive enough medication or refills to last until their next recommended follow-up. Patients are asked to track their supply, and to ensure they have an appointment scheduled before they run out of medication or run out of existing refills. Please be proactive in your care and track how much medication you have and how many refills remain on the prescription, and ensure you have an appointment to see the doctor before you're out of medication. 

 

Lab Work Request Policy

To ensure patient safety and quality, lab work must be completed within 24 hours from your office visit and/or as requested. If available, our office will work with your Primary Care Provider (PCP) to obtain your current lab work. This will aid in our coordination of care efforts and reduce duplicative lab orders.
