Meadowlark Psychiatric Services

I m concerned that this clinic is relying on psych patients to inform them that they re derelict with federal regulations.For example, in 2022 I had to inform them of concerns that they were using a Notice of Privacy Practices that was drafted in 2003.One of about fifty problems with that is the fact that in 2013, the HITECH ACT generated many new updates and New requirements for the HIPAA notice of privacy practices . There were several new requirements that were mandated to be added to the NPP, with compliance required by September 23, 2013. And it s not just important that these practices are adopted in the notice - but in practice.For me that demonstrates that nobody at this clinic is following the federal register, or Final Rules, for regulations required under CFR.That s incredibly horrifying, coming from a place that handles very vulnerable patients - and psychiatric records.I ve had multiple problems with the voicemail for prescriptions. I ve requested these records and want to have the clinic work to resolve issues with those staff - and to make sure they re making detailed records, thqt adhere to record keeping guidelines.

Ask for a cost breakdown before seeing anyone at this establishment. My insurance wasn t ran for over a month and the therapist was insistent I saw her every week. The bill I got was astronomical. Each appointment was $300-$400 WITH INSURANCE. Absolutely insane. There was a clerical issue with my insurance and when I tried to explain that to them they were less than helpful. No one returns phone calls. I had to email my therapist directly to get any movement or help. I was nothing but kind to these folks but direct. They were not transparent about pricing at all. While discussing this with my therapist her responses were quite short and frankly ended rude. Ended the email best of luck . Sooo are we ending the relationship? I shouldn t have to guess the status of the relationship of my therapist. Very odd. I m also seeing another therapist for couples and provided their pricing as an example ($75 a session out of pocket) and they eventually comped the bill to that rate - I was not asking for that low of a rate just providing an example. The whole situation was tense and odd. It s extremely hard to find a therapist and the way this ended was disheartening. I m allowed to advocate for myself especially if there is a misunderstanding regarding pricing. The quality of care did not amount to $300/hour either.
