Avecina Psychiatry can provide a superbill for each appointment for patients to submit to their insurance companies. Reimbursements will be dependent on patient's insurance policy.
Though we try to avoid medications that may lead to physiological dependence for patients, sometimes they are a necessary part of a treatment plan. We minimize the use of benzodiazapines and avoid long term use of such medications. Stimulants may be prescribed if a diagnosis of ADHD is established by the psychiatrist after a thorough evaluation, usually completed over several visits. All patients prescribed controlled substances must sign a controlled substance agreement and may be asked to submit a urine drug screen at random intervals to prevent diversion of controlled substance prescriptions and to ensure we are maintaining safe prescribing practices.
