Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
What is psychiatric medication management?
Psychiatric medication management involves prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting mental health medications by a psychiatrist. This includes initial medication selection, dosage optimization, side effect monitoring, effectiveness assessment, and making changes as needed. Medication management appointments are typically 15-30 minutes and occur monthly or as needed to ensure your medication is working optimally.
How often do I need medication management appointments?
Initially, medication management appointments are typically every 2-4 weeks to monitor your response and make adjustments. Once stable on medication, appointments are usually monthly or every 2-3 months. Frequency depends on your condition, medication stability, and individual needs. Our psychiatrists determine the appropriate schedule for your situation.
Can I get medication management without an initial evaluation?
If you're a new patient without a recent psychiatric evaluation, you'll need a comprehensive initial evaluation (typically 60 minutes) before starting medication management. This ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate medication selection. If you're transferring care from another psychiatrist, bring medical records and we may be able to proceed directly to medication management.
What types of medications do psychiatrists prescribe?
Psychiatrists prescribe antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, etc.), anti-anxiety medications, ADHD medications (stimulants and non-stimulants), mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and sleep medications. The specific medication depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Our psychiatrists use evidence-based guidelines to select the most appropriate medication.
How quickly can I schedule medication management in Orlando?
We offer same-week appointments for medication management. New patients needing initial evaluations can typically be seen within 3-5 business days. Follow-up medication management appointments are scheduled based on your needs, typically 2-4 weeks initially, then monthly. Call 386-848-8751 to schedule.
Does insurance cover medication management?
Yes, most health insurance plans cover psychiatric medication management appointments. These are typically billed as follow-up psychiatric visits and are covered under mental health benefits. We accept most major insurance including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UMR, Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, and many others. Contact us at 386-848-8751 to verify your coverage.
Can medication management be done via telehealth?
Yes, medication management can be effectively conducted via telepsychiatry for most patients and medications. Our psychiatrists can prescribe and monitor most psychiatric medications through secure video appointments. Telepsychiatry offers the same quality care as in-person visits with added convenience. Most insurance covers telepsychiatry at the same rate as office visits.
What should I bring to my medication management appointment?
Bring a list of current medications (including dosages), any medications you've tried in the past (with results), recent lab work if applicable, and questions or concerns about your current treatment. It's helpful to track your symptoms between appointments so you can report on medication effectiveness. If this is your first visit, bring previous psychiatric records if available.
