Appointments are scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. We offer flexible timing for both early morning and late-night sessions. You can be assured that if you book an appointment that you will be the only one with that slot.

We understand that life is unpredictable, and schedules can change in an instant. We ask that you cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance out of courtesy to other clients and to the clinician. If you are unable to adhere to the 24 hour timeframe, a $100.00 fee will be billed. If there is an emergency that prevents you from attending your session, documentation will be required to waive the $100.00 fee.

Once you submit your Initial Intake forms the clinician will verify your current medications with your pharmacy as provided and with the NJ Prescription Monitoring Program. During your visit you will be asked to reverify your current medications and if the clinicians has any concerns these will be addressed. Once the appointment is finished your prescriptions will be called in or electronically sent to your pharmacy and should be ready later that day.

Your clinician will prescribe you an adequate amount of medication until your next appointment time.  If you need to reschedule a prescription may be able to be called in, depending on the medication, until your rescheduled appointment.  We will not fill narcotic prescriptions before their due date.

Currently we are only able to see clients that are residents of New Jersey. If you are on vacation, we are still able to have an appointment. However, if you will need medication filled at a pharmacy outside of New Jersey there may be issues with insurance coverage or pharmacy acceptance. Clients have paid cash for medications in the past if their insurance would not cover an out of state fill.

Prior authorizations are sometimes needed if a prescription plan will not cover a certain medication or if they feel other medications need to be trialed first. There is no standard for what does and does not require a prior authorization as each company is different. We will work with your insurance company to complete any prior authorizations.  You may also need to contact your insurance directly.

For the first time, there is a digital ingestion tracking system that provides you with an opportunity for an objective measure of your patients’ medication-taking patterns.
