INITIAL EVALATION & SESSIONS

We generally conduct a thorough psychiatric evaluation during the initial session – which is typically scheduled for 60 minutes. This assessment focuses on determining the best treatment plan possible and is specific to each individual patient. It is extremely important for this initial assessment to be as comprehensive as possible. Therefore, please bring completed patient forms to this appointment and make sure to provide information about previous providers, past psychiatric treatment, and medication trials. In some situations, extra sessions are needed to complete an appropriate evaluation. Additionally, collateral information (i.e., school reports, family reports, etc are often necessary for children and adolescents – and helpful for adult patients as well. These issues will be discussed during the initial session. Please remember that a comprehensive assessment is necessary as it allows us to provide the best possible care.
PRACTICE STATUS

There are other independent providers who sublease office space within the suite. While we share space and often provide collaborative care, each provider is responsible for providing care up to professional standards. All records are stored using an industry leading electronic health record called Practice Fusion. The office manager also may, at times, have access to your record. Please note that it is our policy to always protect this information in accordance with all legal and ethical standards. Additionally, your provider within a network of other professional colleagues (i.e., primary care doctors, other specialty physicians, psychologists, social workers, therapists, nutritionists, etc that we use as referrals for multidisciplinary care. If a referral is necessary, this will be discussed in session and your provider will work to collaborate with these professionals and coordinate your care. Please note, however, that although we attempt to identify top quality professionals with very high standards of care, we cannot be responsible for the services/treatment that they provide. It is always your responsibility to determine if a professional referral is acceptable, and alternative options will be considered.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Psychiatric medications can be used in conjunction with psychotherapy to treat many conditions. It is important to find the best combination of medications and therapy for each individual case. Your nurse practitioner of psychiatry can provide an integrated approach as a nurse practitioner of psychiatry is trained to administer both psychiatric medications and psychotherapy. However, in almost all situations, it will be appropriate to consider only managing your psychiatric medications and sharing the psychotherapy with an alternative provider. We can help find a provider for you in the community. In situations that warrant the use of medications, it is imperative for you to understand the target symptoms and likely outcomes. Additionally, since all medications have the potential for side effects, your nurse practitioner will always discuss the risks, benefits, side effects, government warnings, and alternative treatments (which always includes not using medications) with you.
REFILLS

We make every effort to see you before you need a refill. We need atleast 2 days to refill a medication and reserve the right to refuse to renew a medication if in the provider's opinion, the patient needs to be evaluated before a refill is given. ALL PATIENTS THAT ARE PRESCRIBED A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE MUST BE SEEN ON A MONTHLY BASIS. Patients that are not seen for more than 3 months are considered to no longer be under the care of the provider. In such cases, the provider will need to see the individual as a new patient after that time.
BILLING AND PAYMENTS

I understand that I am expected to pay my copay for each session at the beginning of each appointment. Alternative payment plans must be discussed with and agreed to by your provider.I understand that payment for ‘other professional services’ such as Legal documentation, Disability, other issues will be billed to the patient at $200 per hour. I authorize the release of any medical or other information necessary to process insurance claims. I also request payment of benefits to the party who accepts assignment. I authorize payment of medical benefits to Maryann Ryan, NPP for services.
CANCELLATIONS AND NO-SHOW POLICY

Once your appointment is scheduled, you will be expected to pay the full professional fee unless you provide at least 48 business hours advance notice of cancellation. Both telephone and email are acceptable ways to alert us of a cancellation. Please remember that business hours are considered weekdays from Monday through Friday and exclude all standard holidays. Also, insurance companies generally do not reimburse for missed sessions or those cancelled too late
CONTACTING YOUR PROVIDER

We always attempt to be accessible for all urgent issues. If your provider is not immediately available by office telephone (845-545-5444), please leave a voice message and we will return your call as soon as possible. Calls are generally returned within one business day. Please always leave a phone number where you can be best reached. If your call is an emergency, please contact 911 immediately instead of calling the office. Emergency psychiatric services are provided by all hospitals through their emergency rooms and do not require appointments. Emergency room physicians can contact your provider at any time so please provide them with his/her contact information. When your provider is unavailable for extended periods of time (i.e., vacation, conferences, etc, a trusted colleague will provide coverage and contact information will be provided on the office voicemail. Please also note that email OR texts should never be used for urgent or emergency issues. This is not a confidential means of communication and we cannot ensure that email or text messages will be received or responded to in a timely fashion
PROFESSIONAL RECORDS
CONSENT FOR USE OF AI SCRIBE DURING ENCOUNTERS

We are using new technology to help provide the best care possible for you. We are using an AI tool assists us during patient encounters by generating clinical notes based on our conversations. This allows us to focu more on you, the patient , and less on computer documentation. The AI tool does not interact with you directly. It merely listens to the conversation and creates a summary. The AI tool listens to the conversation during the visit and geneates a written summary or "note" based on that conversation. This note is then reviewed and approved by your practiitioner. Your privacy is our utmost priority. The AI tool adheres strictly to HIPPA compliance gudelines to ensure that your data is secured and protected. Your participation is completely voluntary.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of mental health treatment and is protected by the law. Aside from emergency situations, information can only be released about your care with your written permission. If insurance reimbursement is pursued, insurance companies also often require information about diagnosis, treatment, and other important information (as described above) as a condition of your insurance coverage. Several exceptions to confidentiality do exist that actually require disclosure by law: (1) danger to self – if there is threat to harm yourself, we are required to seek hospitalization for the client, or to contact family members or others who can help provide protection; (2) danger to others – if there is threat of serious bodily harm to others, we are required to take protective actions, which may include notifying the potential victim, notifying the police, or seeking appropriate hospitalization; (3) grave disability – if due to mental illness, you are unable to meet your basic needs, such as clothing, food, and shelter, we may have to disclose information in order to access services to provide for your basic needs; (4) suspicion of child, elder, or dependent abuse – if there is an indication of abuse to a child, an elderly person, or a disabled person, even if it is about a party other than yourself, we must file a report with the appropriate state right to agency; (5) certain judicial proceedings – if you are involved in judicial proceedings, you have the right to prevent us from providing any information about your treatment. However, in some circumstances in which your emotional condition is an important element, a judge may require testimony through a court order. Although these situations can be rare, we will make every effort to discuss the proceedingswith you accordingly. We also reserve the right to consult with other professionals when appropriate. In these circumstances, your identity will not be revealed and only important clinical information will be discussed. Please note that such consultants are also legally bound to keep this information confidential.
