FMLA, Disability, & Document Policy
Purpose
To ensure accurate, ethical, and timely completion of all administrative paperwork, Unwind Your Mind Psychiatry and Wellness requires that most documentation be completed during a scheduled appointment. This enables the provider to review treatment progress, clarify medical information, and ensure that all documentation meets both clinical and regulatory standards.
