I wasn’t sure exactly how to word this title. I have a PMH-NP that works for me in an outpatient private practice and a local long-term transitional program for young adults has been referring patients to her. For a number of reasons, I don’t think this is a good idea. The main reason is that the patients are in a structured treatment program that farms out it’s treatment both with meds and therapy and then says they aren’t a treatment. Heck, I don’t even know who handles the meds although I was planning to find that out in a meeting later today. We initially got involved because the clients were in a phase out portion of the program which the patients were led to believe that they were independent and had completed the program, but they aren’t and releases and communication with program are expected and program has keys to their apartments. Long story short, can I and should I tell them we won’t accept their patients?
