New Federal In-Person Requirements

In-Person Appointments Needed for Certain Patients


WHAT ARE THE CHANGES?



  • On May 11th, the Federal COVID State of Emergency officially ended. Regulations that were relaxed for clinicians during the pandemic, will be resuming.


  • Patients who are prescribed controlled substances and have NEVER had an in-person appointment, will need to be seen IN PERSON, in order to continue receiving their prescriptions.



DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING?


  • If you are currently taking controlled substances (such as most ADHD medications, sedatives and others) and you have NEVER been seen in-person, then you will need to call our office to schedule an in-person appointment. Please leave a message for us at 610-647-3959, option 3, letting us know the best time of day to return your call.




WHAT IF I DON'T TAKE ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES?


  • We recommend that every patient have at least one in-person appointment, so that if controlled substances are needed at some point, the clinician can prescribe them immediately. 




WHAT IF I'M NOT SURE IF MY MEDICATIONS ARE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES?



  • We have already contacted the patients for whom this applies. However, if you have questions, please call our office at 610-647-3959 and leave a message on option 3. We will call you back and advise you on what is needed. 




WILL ALL MY FUTURE APPOINTMENTS BE IN-PERSON?


  • Only if you prefer that. We are required to see patients at least once in person, but after that, you may resume virtual appointments unless otherwise clinically indicated.



Questions?
