More information on payments and coverage
By scheduling this appointment, I attest to the following statements as part of my care agreement with Foresight Mental Health:
ADHD Testing: I understand that validated, objective ADHD testing is required before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment at Foresight. I acknowledge that external records must be reviewed and approved, and that Foresight offers IVA-2 testing for a self-pay fee if needed.
Medication Management: I understand that the decision to initiate, continue, or adjust medication will be made by the psychiatric provider following a full clinical assessment and is not guaranteed.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): I am not seeking MAT services (e.g., Suboxone, Methadone) for opioid use or withdrawal, as these services are not offered by Foresight.
Suicidal Thoughts: I confirm I am not experiencing active suicidal thoughts with intent or plan. I understand that if my symptoms indicate a need for a higher level of care, I may be referred to more appropriate services.
Telehealth Access: I have a stable internet connection and a private space for telehealth sessions. I also have a backup option (such as a phone or hotspot) in case of internet issues.
State Residency: I confirm that I currently reside in the state where I am seeking care and will be physically present in that state at the time of my appointments. I intend to remain in that state for at least the next 30 days to support continuity of care.
No-Show & Late Cancellation Policy: I acknowledge Foresight’s 48-hour cancellation policy and understand that late cancellations or no-shows will result in a fee of $125 for therapy or $150 for psychiatry. I understand that repeated violations may result in discharge from care.
Custody Documentation: If seeking care for a minor, I acknowledge my responsibility to provide current and accurate custody documentation if applicable. I understand that providing false or incomplete information may affect the child’s care and result in liability.

Matthew has been an excellent provider from day one, and I basically think of him as a friend who I catch up with every few months. He's provided excellent guidance, and has worked with me to find a treatment and medication blend that has really helped.
