They will conduct a diagnostic assessment to help diagnose mental and chemical health issues. They are able to provide psychotropic medications to aid with the treatment of all mental health issues.

Most of our psychiatrists work with adults 18 years of age and older, though we also have psychiatry available to child/adolescents. The psychiatrists work with many classes of medications including anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, and psycho-stimulants. Your psychiatrist will work with you to find the right medication to help relieve the symptoms that are holding you back.

Medication Treatment

Many of our patients rely on medication as part of a treatment plan to address symptoms and overome issues with anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, and more.

Medication Refills

If you have been prescribed medication by one of our psychiatrists it is important that you not run out or stop abruptly without consultation. Be sure to monitor your supply of medication closely to allow plenty of time for prescriptions to be refilled. In many cases, your psychiatrist will want to see you for a medication check prior to refilling. This will have been discussed with you by your psychiatrist. Make sure you have follow-up visits scheduled prior to running out of medication. To see if you can obtain a refill prior to being seen by your psychiatrist follow these steps:

  1. Call your pharmacy when you are getting low on medication before you run out.
  2. Have your prescription bottle in hand when you call the pharmacy for your refill so you can supply all the necessary information.
  3. The pharmacy will notify you if you have refills remaining on your prescription. If there are no refills remaining, they will submit a request to our office.
  4. Your psychiatrist will review your chart within 1-2 days to determine if they can provide you a refill prior to your next follow up appointment. You may be required to make a follow-up appointment before any additional refills are authorized. If needed, someone from our office will contact you to schedule.

Please note: Refill requests are only processed Monday – Friday and can take up to three (3) days to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

We accept all major health insurance plans (BCBS, Health Partners, Medica, United Healthcare, Aetna, Preferred One, Cigna, Tricare, MN Medicaid (Medical Assistance), and Medicare) and many smaller health plans from around the country. If you don’t see your plan listed here, just give us a call and we can let you know if we are contracted with your plan to be in-network providers.

We bill all insurance plans electronically so you don’t have to worry about claims submission. Copays are due at the time of service. If you have co-insurance or are meeting a deductible, we will invoice you for the portion your insurance carrier does not cover.

For various reasons some clients elect to avoid using their insurance. You can call us and we can inform you of the cost of services depending on what types of services you are seeking.

Clients who are experiencing hardship and may currently be without insurance can call our office and talk with our scheduling staff about sliding fee options. Many of our clinicians will reduce the usual and customary fees to make it more affordable for those paying out of pocket. This is determined by the individual clinicians based on circumstances and availability. Please call for more information.

Our clinicians set their own schedules and they may change over time. Many offer some evening appointment times throughout the week, but not every day and not every clinician. Most clinicians do not offer weekend appointments, but in some instances it has been arranged. It is best to call scheduling and specific requests can be addressed to see if there is a possible opportunity to accommodate the time you are looking for.

The first appointment is referred to as a diagnostic intake appointment. During this appointment the clinician is trying to gather as much information as possible about the presenting issues as well as gather global information about various areas in your life including the past. We are trying to see the whole person in the big picture so we can formulate treatment options and recommendations to discuss with you at the end of that session. There is a lot of information to collect so the clinician will be asking a lot of questions. Future sessions will take on a much different look and feel.

We ask clients to provide 24 hour advance notice for cancellations. If your appointment is on a Monday, please call by Friday if you will need to miss your appointment. This allows us to make the appointment time available to clients on our waiting or cancellation list. If less than 24 hours notice is provided, a no show or late cancel fee is charged. If special circumstances are involved, please call and discuss this with scheduling or directly with your clinician.

Please check your medication container to see if the doctor has provided any refills on the label. If so, you need only call your pharmacy to request a refill. If the label indicates no refills, you should call your pharmacy to request a refill from the doctor. Your pharmacy will electronically, or via fax, send a refill request to our office with all the information we need.

In some instances your doctor may need to see you for a medication check prior to supplying a refill. Always schedule a follow up appointment after seeing your doctor for the time frame they specify and delays in refills should not be a problem. If your doctor needs to schedule with you, our staff will contact you. Once the doctor has reviewed the refill request and approved it, your pharmacy should contact you to pick up your prescription.

If you have questions about a bill, or about our billing process, please call the main number and we will attempt to answer your question on the phone. If we cannot answer your question, we will have a representative from our billing office contact you directly.
