Notice of Privacy Practices link
I read, accept and understand Notice of Privacy Practices.
A. Collaboration: Coordination between healthcare providers is vital to your care. Prior to your first appointment, you should have had a physical exam and appropriate testing within the last 12 months. If possible, bring copies of tests to your first session. We will ask that you provide consent to obtain health records from your primary care provider or specialists.
B. Patient portal: This is the preferred method of communication because it is encrypted and HIPAA compliant. Dr. Levin’s and Lisa Lerner’s E-mail is encrypted but yours may not be secure. Electronic communication has potential risks to your privacy which you are aware of by consenting to this document.
C. Evaluation and Care Plan: The initial appointment is an evaluation. If you consent to the care plan and Dr. Levin or Lisa Lerner LCSW agree that you are a good fit, treatment will start. If our expertise does not match your needs, we will assist with appropriate referrals.
D. Cancellations and Punctuality: Appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance or you will be charged the full fee. (Note that weekends and holidays do not count as normal business hours. For example, if your appointment is on a Monday at 2:00 PM, we must be notified before 2:00 PM on the Friday prior to avoid being charged for the appointment). If you are sick, please enquire about converting your appointment to a tele-psychiatry visit.It is easy to do, even at the last minute. Appointment times are to be respected. If you are late, you will not be given extra time and will be billed at the scheduled rate. If you arrive too late to achieve any meaningful herapeutic work, at our discretion, your appointment will be rescheduled and you will be billed for a missed appointment.
E. Additional Services: Professional services between appointments including E-mails, telephone conversations, reports writing, coordination of care with family or other providers, or time spent performing any other services on your behalf will be prorated in 10-minute increment based on an hourly rate. Prescription refills between sessions are billed at a rate of $65.
F. Discharge from the Clinic: We reserve the right to terminate our relationship under the following conditions: if we believe our services are no longer beneficial or that another professional would serve you better; non-payment of fees; missing two appointments without appropriate notice; missing an appointment but not calling within 24-hours to explain what happened; not agreeing to or adhering to the treatment plan; you or a family member/friend breaks any law while on premises, are hostile to staff or disrupt the office; diverting or mis-using prescribed medication.
G. Feedback and Rights: Feedback is how we improve our care and will be addressed seriously and respectfully. It is your right to request a referral to another mental health practitioner or to end treatment at any time. You have the right to considerate, safe, ethical and respectful care, without discrimination as to race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, or national origin.
