Importance of Rescheduling Appointments for Avoiding Case-Closure
Patients should recall from reading their treatment contract that their cases will go inactive by default if they are not seen within five months of their last clinic visit. However, patients should also recall that specific cases may become inactive within only a few days or weeks, if the doctor has specifically recommended a return exam within a relatively short time, based upon specific psychiatric needs or situations.
When a case becomes inactive, this means that the doctor will not be able to refill a patient’s prescriptions until the patient is seen again in clinic and the case is then re-opened. To avoid case-closure, pay attention to the doctor’s recommendations for when you need to be seen again in clinic, and check to make sure you schedule a return appointment within the time-frame which the doctor has recommended. If you have forgotten the day and time of your next appointment, or need to schedule an appointment, go to the CONTACT tab, read the instructions for making appointments, and then go to www.Schedulicity.Com to make their appointment or check the date of an appointment.
