Visit flow for Medication Management
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.

Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.

Clinical FAQ
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.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.

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.
