Questions we hear about Medication Management
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.
DSM-5-TR framing for ADHD med titration
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Taper request that requires a medical schedule.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Medication Management. Mention Hillsboro Beach so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
