Sample photos.
Controlled medication follows an evaluation. It never comes before one.
Controlled prescriptions go to one pharmacy you name, and come from one prescriber.
Before each controlled prescription we check Arizona's prescription monitoring program.
A request for more, or sooner, is reviewed at a visit.
Prescribing policy
Written once, so nobody has to ask. Rules for controlled medication come from federal and Arizona law and can change; we tell you what applies before your evaluation.

The answers to what nearly everyone asks before a first visit.
Forge Psychiatry is out of network with every insurance plan, so you pay for each visit yourself. We do not bill Medicare or Medicaid. If you want a prescriber who bills your plan, we will gladly give you the names of colleagues.
Out of network with insurance plans
No Medicare or Medicaid
You pay at the end of each visit by card, including HSA and FSA cards. Your fee is set by the length of the visit: 75 minutes for the ADHD evaluation, 20 for a follow-up and 40 for a longer follow-up. We send the fee in writing before the evaluation. We ask for 24 hours' notice to change an appointment. There is no contract and no payment in advance.
Each month we give you an itemized receipt (a superbill) with the dates and kind of visit, to send to your plan, which may reimburse part of out-of-network care. It carries a diagnosis code your insurer can see. Your plan decides whether it pays anything; ask it before you start.
If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a good faith estimate of what your care will cost before you start. We send one in writing before the evaluation. If the final bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.
We do not check benefits, because we do not bill your plan. If you want to know whether your plan reimburses, call it before the evaluation and ask about out-of-network mental health visits.
The ADHD evaluation is the first visit, and there is no separate consultation before it. It runs 75 minutes: a structured interview, your history and rating scales, then a written summary of what we found and what we recommend.

The first visit is the evaluation: 75 minutes of interview, history and rating scales. Dr. Madrigal then sets the pace of follow-up visits with you. We do not promise a number of visits.
It depends on the federal and Arizona rules in force on the day of the visit. We do not start a controlled medication at the visit that begins the evaluation, and we tell you before the evaluation whether follow-ups can be by video or must be in the office.
The fee and the policy are in writing before the visit.
Request an evaluation
We reply within one business day, by the method and at the time you choose. The first visit is the evaluation, and its fee is sent to you in writing first.
Friday visits are by video.
