Dr. Elizabeth Boswell M.D. 

​​​Appointments and Scheduling
Office visits are by appointment only.  My general office hours are Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.  All appointments are scheduled by me through email or voice mail.  Please call and leave a message stating the days and times that are most convenient for you and I will return your call.  Also, please indicate whether I may leave a message on your answering machine with respect to a potential appointment time.  Please be aware that I require a 24 notice of cancellation in order to avoid the full appointment charge.

Payment Policy

Payment by check, cash, or credit card is due at the time of service.  There is a $20.00 fee for returned checks.  I do not submit claims directly with insurance companies.  However, I will provide you with a receipt that you can submit with your insurance company if you choose. I do not bill Medicare and my prescriptions will not be covered by Medicare.

Phone call policy
I do my best to return calls within my office hours.  If you have a situation that cannot wait for a return call then you should proceed to your nearest emergency room or call 911.  I do not have after hours/on call coverage.

E-mail policy
My email address is Elizabeth@boswellmd.com.  You may contact me via email for scheduling and non-urgent issues.  Please be advised that email communication is a convenience for my clients but I cannot ensure confidentiality when communicating by email.

Medication refills
Refills are made for patients currently in active treatment and keeping regular appointments.  I will provide you with prescriptions at your appointments.  However, should a medication refill become necessary before your next scheduled appointment, please call and leave a message on my voicemail during office hours.  Always leave your name, date of birth, name of your medication, dosage, and how often you are taking the medication.  I will need a pharmacy phone number and a number where you can be reached for questions.

Vacation coverage
I will arrange for another psychiatrist to be available during my vacations.  Giving your consent for treatment with me also includes consent for treatment with any psychiatrist that covers for me during my absences.

Confidentiality

All information between a physician and a patient is strictly confidential.  I will not release your information to outside individuals or agencies without your written consent.  The only exceptions to this rule are dictated by law.  If you present as a danger to yourself or others, or if child or elder neglect or abuse is suspected then I am mandated by law to report to authorities.

Termination of Therapy
Patients may choose to discontinue treatment at any time.  I reserve the right to terminate treatment for any of the following: if I do not offer the type of care that you need, if you are unable to adhere to the agreed upon treatment plan, or if you are unable to comply with the policies of my practice.  I will discuss any termination of treatment with clients and provide referrals in the event of termination of treatment.  Please let me know if you decide to discontinue treatment with me as well.

Office Sharing
Please know that all practitioners in the office at 1784-A Century Boulevard, Atlanta, Ga. 30345 have separate practices.  Records are kept separate for each practice and communication between client and practitioner is not shared without consent of clients between the practices.  Messages for one practitioner should not be left for another practitioner.
