Welcome to our practice. The following information pertains to our practice policies. We look forward to working with you.

Your initial session is reserved for a thorough review of your history and current symptoms as well as medications. At the end of the session, we will discuss your diagnosis and treatment plan which may include talk therapy, medication management or a combination of both. We can also provide you with a list of referrals for talk therapy. This office collaborates with your existing therapist for purposes of coordination of care. We do not provide talk therapy as part of our services. You may not be prescribed medications after your initial session if the provider does not deem them necessary. At the end of your first session, you may be referred out if our provider assesses that you will benefit from a higher or different level of care. This may include referral to Partial Hospital or Intensive Outpatient Programs or referral to a Community Service Board. Follow up appointments may be scheduled from 1 week to 4 months after your initial appointment based on the provider's recommendation. The frequency of follow up appointments may vary depending on response to medications, severity of illness and side effects. Medication management appointments are 15-30 minutes in length depending on the type of medication and ongoing issues that are being addressed. Please note that our office does not offer same day or crisis appointments. All paperwork is filled out in session, in office, with the patient and guardian present and at the discretion of our providers. This includes any school forms, FMLA, disability applications or any other form of documentation required for work/ school/ legal purposes. A $50 fee applies to each application being filled out. Our office does not fill out disability paperwork unless you have been an established patient with at least three visits with our provider.

Your appointment time is reserved for you. Therefore, if you are not able to keep your appointment time, please call as soon as possible to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you do not provide at least 24 hours' notice of your cancelled appointment or if you fail to show for your appointment, you will be charged a no-show fee of $50. Contacting Us:

We will answer calls during business hours Monday-Friday. We will return phone calls within 24 hours with the exception of weekends and holidays. If you are experiencing an emergency, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. As soon as you are able to do so, please contact GBH to inform us of the situation. You can also reach the Georgia Crisis and Access Line at www.gcal.com. Please do not send us emails regarding your medications or PHI. Medication changes are best addressed in session with our providers.

I am the legal guardian of the minor named below and have authority to consent to psychiatric and/or psychotherapy treatment by a licensed provider of Georgia Behavioral Health (GBH).

• GBH does not provide custody evaluations, visitation recommendations, or court testimony.
• The provider may give general progress updates but will not disclose confidential session content without the child’s consent unless required for safety or by law.
• If separated/divorced, I must provide the current custody agreement/parenting plan before services.

We will bill your insurance company, but you will be asked to pay your co-pay or applicable balance in case you have not met your deductible. Payment will be required prior to the start of the session.

I understand that it is my financial responsibility for services provided until insurance deductible is met and any co-pay thereafter or if my insurance becomes inactive, but I continue to seek services from GBH, LLC.

Full payment is due at the time service is rendered. I acknowledge responsibility for all fees incurred including those for documentation, no shows, late cancellations, prescription refills. All balances 30 days past due will be deemed delinquent. Delinquent accounts must be paid in full before any future services will be provided. We reserve the right to send delinquent accounts to collections if needed. For minor children of divorced parents - Payment is expected from the parent(s) bringing the child for treatment irrespective of the divorce decree. We will release pertinent medical records only to the custodial parent. Parent who has signed financial responsibility paperwork will be held accountable for delinquent account. I have read and understand the above policies.

Statement of Confidentiality: Under Georgia law communications between patients and psychiatrists are confidential, and under ordinary circumstances this privilege can be waived only by the patient. However, there are three clear exceptions in which a psychiatrist is legally and ethically bound to break confidentiality: (1)the patient is imminently dangerous to him or herself, (2) the patient is imminently dangerous to others and/ or has made specific threats to harm an identifiable third person, (3) actualor suspected incidents of child abuse. Although legally and ethically bound to break confidentiality under the aforementioned circumstances, I will not do so without attempting to discuss it with you first.

I have read and understand the above policies.

1. Notify us if there are any significant changes in your psychiatric or medical condition, or if an outside provider changes your medication regimen. 2. Notify us if you suspect or know that you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant in the near future. Pregnancy will affect treatment recommendations. 3. If you feel you are at risk of hurting yourself or others, notify me immediately. If you feel you are an imminent risk and need immediate attention, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency

4. I welcome texts and calls for non-urgent, administrative communication. Please note that the confidentiality of emails cannot be guaranteed. To discuss medical concerns, please call or text us at 678-861-6463. 5. If your medication makes you drowsy or slow your reaction time, please refrain from driving, and notify me. Also, notify us if your medication causes you other significant side effects. It is advised to not drink alcohol while taking psychiatric medications. 6. If you want to increase, decrease, or discontinue your medication regimen, please call or text us first. Medication management is a collaborative process. Changes without consultation from the provider could jeopardize your health and well-being and may interfere with our ability to work together and constitute as grounds for dismissal from our practice. 7. If you are seeking treatment with a service/therapy/emotional support animal, our practice does NOT provide these services and are NOT trained in these areas to prescribe to our patients. Also, we do not write letters or documentations for your animals, so please refer to professionals that are trained in these areas to receive your documentation. 8. Please remember to schedule your follow up appointment at the end of your session. Any medication refills called outside of your routinely scheduled appointment generate a $25 fee and are at the discretion of your provider. Controlled substances WILL NOT be called in without an appointment. Our office checks the Ga PDMP prior to prescribing controlled substances to stay compliant with Georgia law. 9. Following are grounds to terminate patients from our practice - a. 3 or more missed appointments in a 12-month period b. 3 or more cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice in a 12-month period C. Abuse of prescribed medications d. Positive urine drug screen for patients on controlled substances e. Rude, aggressive, inappropriate, or hostile behavior towards staff, providers, or other patients.

and with full legal authority to consent to treatment.

Parents, Informed Consent & Divorce: If you share legal custody and your divorce decree notes that you must inform the other parent of health appointments, please note that you may be in violation of a court order if you fail to inform the other parent of your child receiving psychiatric services. Also note to provide consent for treatment of your child you must either have sole legal custody OR have shared legal custody, and if you have no legal custody you cannot provide consent for treatment. By signing below you are stating that you have the legal right to consent for this child. In the case of separation or divorce, any matter brought to my attention by either parent regarding the child may be revealed to the other parent. Matters which are brought to attention that are irrelevant to the child's welfare may be kept in confidence.

Medication and Prescription Policy

If the provider is prescribing medications to you/ or your child as part of your treatment, regular follow up visits with them are required to closely monitor for efficacy, safety and potential side effects. Medication management requires working together to ensure the best response to medications. This includes maintaining scheduled follow up appointments.

You or your child will be prescribed enough medication to last until your next follow-up appointment. Prescriptions will not be called in for patients that cancel/ or miss regularly scheduled medication follow-up appointments.

If you have to reschedule an appointment, please ensure that you schedule another appointment before you run out of medication. Our office will do our best to reschedule you, but keep in mind it may take several days to weeks to find an appointment that will be conducive to your schedule. It is your responsibility to make sure you do not run out of medicine.

Controlled Substances - Recognize that stimulant medications and Benzodiazepines are considered controlled substances and cannot be called in to or faxed to pharmacies. If you lose a prescription or your medication, it is at the provider's. discretion to issue a replacement. All controlled substances will have to go through the Georgia PDMP in accordance with the guidelines.

The provider is committed to providing professional services of the highest quality and standards. In order to serve their patients efficiently and responsibly, they require agreements be made as to the policies stated above. Patients are encouraged to ask questions before signing.

I have read the medication policies, understand, and agree with them.
