ACCEPTANCE OF PATIENTS AND APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING POLICY
Our office staff recently received notice that you would like to schedule an initial assessment
with our psychiatrist. Our policy for accepting patients into treatment and scheduling an initial
appointment requires a pre-admission screening process. This is a simple process in which the
patient/parent/guardian can download the pre-admission packet from our website,
including (1) the Treatment Agreement and Patient Responsibility Form, (2) the Billing/Fee Schedule,
and (3) the Psychosocial/Health Screening Questionnaire. These forms must be read and reviewed
carefully, completed, signed, dated where appropriate, and returned to our office
promptly by email , mail, or in person. Our physician will review the information given, and if
you/your child is accepted for treatment, an initial intake/assessment will be scheduled. An
appointment/confirmation letter will be sent to you with the agreed-upon date/time of you/your
child’s appointment. Please be assured that all information received will be kept strictly
confidential. Our policy is to accept patients that we feel are appropriate and will benefit from
our treatment services.
We appreciate your cooperation,
Sincerely,
Ronald A. Cooke, MD
*** In order to provide optimal service and quality time with patients Dr. Cooke no longer takes most insurances. He does accept Highmark and BC/BS traditional insurance, as they do allow ample time to be spent with his patients. We will provide an itemized receipt for each visit for possible reimbursement from your insurance company as an out-of-network benefit. Please contact your insurance company regarding reimbursement for out-of- network providers.
