Medication Evaluations
An initial 50-minute medication evaluation is available at no charge if you have paid the Campus Health Service Fee. If you are not in therapy at CAPS and are interested in starting or continuing psychiatric medication, you can schedule a medication evaluation by calling CAPS for an initial appointment. If you are already in therapy at CAPS, your therapist can assist you in setting up the evaluation.
Medication Management
Once a psychiatric medication has been prescribed as part of your treatment at CAPS, you will be asked to come in periodically for medication monitoring. You will be charged for medication management on a fee for service basis. Medication checks are approximately 20 minutes long.
When you are first prescribed medication, or if the dose is being adjusted, medication checks usually occur every one to three weeks. Once the medication dose is stable, medication checks usually occur every one to three months. Your psychiatrist will explain your specific needs and appropriate frequency of medication checks.
If you run out of medications prior to the next available medication appointment, you may be prescribed medication during working hours until the next available appointment. After hours and on weekends, medication refill requests will not be filled (except for exceptional circumstances).
