What If the Psychiatrist or Psychiatric Nurse Prescribes Medication?
Will I Continue to Work with my UCS Counselor? Most psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses are very willing to work in collaboration with UCS. Because they are bound by similar legal and ethical requirements for confidentiality, your written permission for collaboration will be required. You will most likely be given the option of continuing to work with UCS if our services can be of assistance to you or to work exclusively with your psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse if you would prefer. What Does a Psychiatric Evaluation Cost? The cost of psychiatric evaluations are covered by most insurance plans. You will need to check with your insurance company to see what restrictions apply. If you do not use and/or have insurance, a psychiatric evaluation in the Kirksville area averages $100 – $200 depending on whom you see and the time it takes to complete the evaluation. In most cases, a payment plan can be arranged.
