Antipsychotic metabolic monitoring serving Hollywood
Insurance coverage of a medication is not the same as a clinical indication.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Leftover 'affordable refill' slugs are not a cash-pay promise.
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
What we do not do
Cash telehealth stimulant mills optimize speed. We optimize a differential and PDMP.
We will not 'optimize' a regimen that was never indicated.
Primary-care SSRIs without a bipolar screen are a common reason people land here.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Review PDMP and allergies.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Check labs due for the current class.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Stressors we document in Hollywood
You want off a medication and were told that desire is a symptom.
You were started on two changes at once, so nobody knows which drug caused the rash.
Stimulants were started before a bipolar screen, and now sleep and irritability are worse.
What we rule in — and rule out
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
Missed labs = delayed titration.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Hollywood FAQs for Medication Management
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 0 minutes from Hollywood.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
