Frequently Asked Questions

Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners are licensed providers with advanced training in diagnosing mental health conditions and prescribing psychiatric medications. They specialize in psychiatric evaluation and medication management and work closely with supervising physicians as part of a collaborative care model.

We focus on psychiatric evaluation and medication management. When psychotherapy services are recommended, patients can be referred to our partner practice, Southeast Psych Nashville. This practice is co-located in our office and supported by the same administrative and scheduling team, helping simplify the care experience while maintaining separate clinical practices.

We commonly treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related concerns, and other mood- and attention-related conditions.

Psychiatric medication management may include medications such as antidepressants, ADHD medications, mood stabilizers, or anti-anxiety medications when clinically appropriate. Commonly prescribed medications may include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), stimulant and non-stimulant medications for ADHD, and other evidence-based psychiatric medications.

Medication decisions are individualized and based on a comprehensive evaluation, clinical history, and ongoing response to treatment. Not every patient requires medication, and no specific medication is guaranteed to be prescribed.

We are a self-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. However, we can provide detailed documentation, often referred to as a superbill, which patients may submit to their insurance carrier for potential reimbursement, depending on individual plan benefits.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers are required to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs such as tests, consultations, or other service fees.

Your health care provider should give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your scheduled service. You may also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling any service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may dispute the bill.

Please save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records. For more information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-877-696-6775.
