FAQs
You can find answers to our most frequently asked questions about this service here. If you’ve got a question we haven’t covered, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
How long will my appointment/s with my psychiatric provider take? If you are referred to one of our psychiatric providers your initial appointment will be scheduled for 90 minutes. This will include a thorough evaluation of your psychiatric and medical history as well as a review of events that led you to seek help. If it is decided that you will benefit from continuing to follow up with our psychiatric providers, follow up appointments will generally be scheduled for about 30 minutes. Arriving at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment will allow our front desk to update records and nursing staff to check you in.
Who can attend my appointment?
Will I be started on medications? If you are already taking and benefiting from psychiatric medications, our providers may continue these, adjust these, or change to different medications. In some cases, our providers may determine that your concerns may be better treated with therapy or can be managed by your primary medical provider. In these cases our providers may refer you to a therapist, counselor, or primary medical provider.
Will Region Ten pay for my medications? In most cases, individuals seen at Region Ten already have insurance plans that cover most of the cost of their prescription medications. If you do not have insurance, we can assist you in seeing if you are eligible for an insurance plan, and assist you in enrolling in a plan that will help pay for your medications. We are also able to help identify affordable resources to assist you in affording your medications.
Does Region Ten have a pharmacy? In 2019 Region Ten partnered with Genoa Healthcare to open a full-service onsite pharmacy at our central Charlottesville location at The Peterson Health Center on 800 Preston Avenue. While Genoa Healthcare Pharmacy is owned at operated by Genoa Healthcare, the pharmacy is not open to the general public, and is dedicated to meeting the needs of the individuals we serve and Region Ten employees.
