New Patient Form

Please print this page and complete as much as you can before your first appointment. If you wish to use insurance, you should contact your insurer to ask them the following questions. It is important you do this before the first visit, for some insurers will not cover your visit unless you have an authorization number first.
- What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?
- Do I need pre-authorization? If so, how do I get it?
- How many mental health visits per year am I approved for?

Agreement to Treatment

There are a few policies for you to know before beginning treatment:

 

1)    Confidentiality: This is described in the Privacy Policy.

2)    Availability: I am available by phone for emergencies by dialing my regular office number and following the emergency instructions. If I am away, I will designate another physician to be available.

3)    Payment: Payment is due at the time of your visit and can be made by check (to Valentine Raiteri, MD) or cash.

4)    Appointments: The time scheduled for your appointments is set aside exclusively for you, so it is important that you be on time to make use of it. Your first appointment will be 45 minutes long; subsequent appointments are usually scheduled for 30 or 45 minutes.

5)    Cancellations, Missed Appointments: If for any reason you can not make your scheduled appointment, please notify me as soon as possible. If I am unable to fill your appointment time or we are unable to reschedule for another time that same business week, you will be responsible for the full fee of your session. Since insurance does not reimburse for missed sessions, this fee will include the amount usually reimbursed by insurance.

 

You should feel free to discuss any aspects of these when we meet. In signing below, you agree to begin treatment with the policies above and acknowledge receipt of the Privacy Policy.
