    Attendance, Cancellations and No-Shows

    In order to provide safe and effective care, every client is expected to arrive on time and attend to all scheduled appointments unless arrangements have been previously made. Follow up appointment are 30 min long and initial evaluation is 60 min long. If you arrive more than 10 min late for any appointment, you will not be seen and a No-show fee of $100 will be charged. Additionally, if you need to cancel/reschedule your appointment, you must do so 48hrs in advance. A No-show fee will be charged to those appointments not cancelled within the required time. If you miss intermittent appointments or you miss two consecutive follow up sessions, your case will be closed.

    Emergencies

    Please note that Bright Minds Psychiatry is a one-provider practice at this time, we cannot offer 24/7 coverage. This is one of the major limitations of private practice. If you require a higher level of care or comprehensive supports, we are happy to provide you with resources that can better serve you. In the event of a life-threatening emergency, including threats violence to self or others, overdose, and other medical or psychiatric emergencies, you must call 911 or proceed immediately to your nearest emergency room- if it is safe to do so.

    Prescription Refills

    Prescription refill requests should be made 72 hours in advance by voice message (508) 375-8980. Please include your full name, date of birth, pharmacy, and the medication you are requesting. We do not accept refill requests solicited by pharmacies; requests must be made directly by the client/guardian.
