As part of my second Adventures in Telehealth webinar on August 5th for the DWI Services Section in North Carolina, I began creating a Youtube channel to handle the video files that were used in the webinar itself. This effort led to yet another "Loose Thought" and I have reworked the interviews utilized in the webinar. At this point in time, the existing YouTube videos include conversations about utilizing telehealth or mHealth platforms to provide services. All interviewees are nationally certified in their use of telehealth services and all are licensed in their respective fields. Each brings a somewhat different focus to telehealth services. My current plans include additional interviews with other practitioners with the intent to broaden the scope of understanding how to utilize videoconferencing services.

*** Telehealth Conferencing Now The Priority Model***
Professional, confidential one on one, couple, and family addictions counseling is available to help end the pain and stress associated with alcoholism and other drug addictions. Counseling begins with accurate assessment, followed by services based upon the American Association of Addiction Medicine Patient Placement Criteria. When outpatient services are not indicated by the assessment, every effort is made to connect consumers to the proper higher level of care. Services are typically covered by insurance coverage including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medcost, Coventry, Cigna and others.
State and Court mandated DWI assessment services are available for both pre and post Court related individuals. Assessment fees are set by the State of N.C. at $100.00. All assessments are based upon NC DHHS standards utilizing ASAM criteria. Each individual is referred to one of five intervention levels in order to meet Court requirements and regain driving privileges. Assessments are by appointment only. Please note: DWI assessments are not sufficient for child custody cases.
As a member of EAN (Employee Assistance Network), Assessments By Yount is available for both self-referral and supervisory referrals for work related issues and impairment in job functioning. Self-referrals may be made directly or through the company Human Resource Department.

Effective 06/15/2020: All DWI assessment related services require a non-refundable prepayment. The ongoing last minute cancellation of scheduled appointments and consumers simply not showing up has put an unsustainable financial pressure on my counseling service. I will now TENTATIVELY schedule a DWI assessment appointment and invoice the potential consumer for the NON-REFUNDABLE fee for the service. This fee must be paid within 48 hours of the invoice or the time slot will be released to another consumer. If the fee is paid and the appointment is not cancelled a minimum of 24 hours in advance OR if the consumer simply doesn't show up, the fee will not be returned. Any future scheduling requires a NEW prepayment of an additional non-refundable fee.
Current fee schedule for DWI assessment services:
DWI assessment - $100.00
Out of State DWI review - $210.00
In-State DWI review - $210.00
NC DWI In-State Reassessment - $100.00
NC DMV lifetime history report - $10.75
Payment of fees for general counseling services will follow a similar invoicing process. A rescheduling fee of $50.00 will be required for any general counseling services wherein a consumer either fails to provide a minimum of 24 hours notice of cancellation or does not appear for the appointment. Insurance co-pays will be invoiced or other agreements reached on an individual consumer basis.
