Policy: At BridgeStone Mental Wellness & Therapy LLC, we’re committed to keeping your medication management safe and effective using the latest evidence-based practices. Our goal? To provide top-notch care with every medication management service we offer.
Procedure: To get started with Medication Management, you’ll need to sign a Release of Information (ROI) form for any outside medical providers you’ve seen. You can find this form under “Online Forms” on our website, labeled “Authorization for Release of Information.” Just fill it out and submit it online.
If you’re moving your medication management to BridgeStone Mental Wellness & Therapy LLC from another practice, make sure to request your last three visit notes from your previous provider. They need to be faxed directly to us before your first appointment.
For your initial visit, we’ll need some basic labs, including a urine toxicology screen. The initial lab order includes CMP-14, Thyroid panel, lipid profile, CBC with differential, Beta HCG quantitative (for women), and urine toxicology screen. Depending on your treatment, you might need additional lab work later, which your provider will discuss with you.
To follow our medication management guidelines, if you’re on controlled medications (Schedules II to V), you must schedule monthly appointments to keep your prescriptions going. These visits are crucial for assessing your need for these medications and for routine urine drug screening.
For those on non-controlled medications who are stable, quarterly check-ups are required. These appointments help reassess your symptoms and renew your medication for the next three months.
Lab orders are sent electronically. Just let our front desk know if you prefer LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics, and you can visit the lab that’s most convenient for you. We’ll get the results directly from the lab.
Lost/Stolen Prescription Medications: It’s important to keep your medications safe and secure. If your medications are lost or stolen, especially if they’re controlled, report this to us with a police report. Note that replacement decisions are made by your insurance, not us, but we’ll help you through the process.
Practice Intention: At BridgeStone Mental Wellness & Therapy LLC, we’re dedicated to delivering high-quality psychiatric care. We continuously monitor and adjust our personalized care plans, ensuring they meet our high standards and are well-documented.
