  • What is psychiatric medication management?

    Psychiatric medication control involves the prescription, supervision, and adjustment of medication for the treatment of mental illness. It is one of the most important parts to a mental illness diagnosis, requiring collaboration among doctors, therapists, patients, therapists, and sometimes other medical practitioners. 

  • What happens during my first visit?

    Expect a comprehensive review of your mental health and medical history, leading to a tailored treatment plan that may or may not include medications. If we do recommend medication for treating mental health conditions, we will schedule regular appointments with you after you’ve received your prescription.

  • How long do medication management appointments last?

    After an initial assessment, diagnosis, and discussion with your doctor about your treatment plan, you can expect medication management appointments to last 20-30 minutes, sometimes less. The frequency of these appointments (and their duration) will fluctuate on a case-by-case basis.

  • What is medication management evaluation?

    Medication management therapy is a treatment method employed in order to ensure that patients get optimal benefits from prescription medicines taken.

  • Why does someone need ongoing medication management appointments?

    Psychiatric medication management also ensures safe and proper use of all prescriptions, so attending regular appointments while actively taking a mental health medication is an important part of the treatment process. Additionally, some conditions change over time, so how you respond to medication may change over time, too.

  • How does medication management work?

    Medication management method involves interacting with patients to create and update the medication lists in the brown bags. The proper medication management system can address a number of problems, including medication reconciliation issues.

  • Does medication management mean they can prescribe medication?

    This involves far more than just prescribing medicine. This involves integrating health teams who assess a given medication's effectiveness. The prescription medication may cause unwanted side effects or causes ineffectiveness in the body and the treatment should be modified accordingly.

  • Do I have to tell my psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioners about every medication I take?

    Being as open and honest as you can is always a good rule of thumb when it comes to your health. Why? Because it provides clear insight into what may work best for you. Communicating all medications you take is especially important for medication management because it helps your doctor know which prescriptions will be safest for you to take.

  • Will insurance cover your medication?

    Yes, insurance providers typically cover medication management, but it’s always best to contact your carrier to determine eligibility.
