The psychiatrist authorized the med change. Somebody was billed for it under a chemo therapy coding. The person who authorized the med change needs to deal with the resulting reaction NOW. I went through this BS years ago when I was being treated at a community mental health clinic. Getting in to see the doc beyond your quarterly med. check was difficult at best. I had a bad reaction to a med change which he authorized but I couldn't get in to see anyone with MD behind his/her name until I had a friend who is an attorney call the office, explain my problem and gave them 24 hrs. to work me in to see someone with a license to treat the problem or he was calling in every over sight agency they were under. I was worked in that day.

Your therapist can't do a thing even if he/she is a licensed clinical social worker or a psychologist. They are not licensed to write meds or change meds. All they can do is contact the psychiatrist and that person authorizes the medication. The doctor who authorized it is in your chart.
