    Acknowledgment Form
  • I, * have read, had the opportunity to ask questions about, and understand the following policies related to my care at Salem Psychiatric Associates and Valley Mental Health:

  • Cancellation Policy: My appointment time is reserved specifically for me. If I cannot attend, I must cancel at least 48 hours in advance to avoid a charge. If I cancel less than 48 hours before the appointment or fail to attend, I will be charged a $100 fee. Please refer to the Session Fees section for more information about scheduling appointments only after outstanding balances are paid.

     

    Office Fees: Our office fees vary depending on the services provided. I have received a handout detailing the SPA/VMH charges and procedures. If not, I will request one.

     

    Insurance Billing: If I have acceptable insurance coverage, the office will gladly bill my insurance as a courtesy. However, I understand that I am responsible for full payment for appointments, regardless of my insurance coverage.

     

    Monthly Statements: I will receive monthly statements outlining any outstanding balances and will be mailed to the address listed in my chart. These statements will ensure transparency and keep me informed of any amounts due. I understand that I will need to contact the office if I do not want to receive a statement.

     

    Payment Due Dates: All fees, co-pays, co-insurances, and deductibles are due at the beginning of each month for the previous month’s services.

    Prompt payment will ensure uninterrupted medication management during my appointments.

  • Service Animal Policy

  • Salem Psychiatric Associates (SPA) and Valley Mental Health (VMH) honors and respects the rights of individuals with service and therapy animals, including animals who assist those with disabilities and who provide emotional support. However, in recognition of the sensitivity of others and in order to maintain a comfortable and safe environment for all of our clients, we have put the following guidelines in place:

    A Service Animal is one that performs specific tasks to assist a person with a disability. Other names for these animals include guide animal, hearing animal, mobility animal, medical alert animal and psychiatric service animal. Your rights regarding service animals are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

    A Therapy Animal provides therapeutic support to an individual with mental health concerns. Other names for these animals include "emotional support animals," "companion pets," or "comfort animals." Although we know the importance of these animal relationships, we do not permit them on the SPA/VMH premises as some patients react negatively to animals.

    Please Note: In an an attempt to preserve the therapeutic atmosphere and the safety of SPA/VMH clients, any animal that exhibits aggressive or disruptive behavior will not be allowed on the premises.

  • If you need to bring your service animal with you to your appointments at SPA/VMH, please provide the following information:

  • By signing below, I certify that I have read, understand, and agree to the Service Animal Policy.
