Med checks with a problem list, not a clipboard
Insurance coverage of a medication is not the same as a clinical indication.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Side-effect visits are diagnostic: we name the mechanism when we can.
Psychiatric medication management is ongoing medical treatment: indication, dose, monitoring, and an exit plan.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
antidepressant management still has to map to a problem on the list.
Taper request that requires a medical schedule.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Clinical FAQ
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Do you accept insurance for Sunrise patients?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
Can I get evening or weekend telehealth appointments?
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate work schedules. Contact our office to discuss available appointment times.

ZIP 33313 is the lead postal code listed for Sunrise. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
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.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Sunrise presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Trazodone plus an opioid plus a benzodiazepine was never reconciled.
