What To Expect At Your First Appointment

This form goes through a lot of information some of which you might not feel comfortable discussing in front of your family member, hence the importance of fully completing it prior to meeting with Dr. Pepermintwala or other providers.

Includes the following:

  • (Office visit + Rx + in-office rapid UA) =  $400  
  • Urine Drug Screen (sent to lab for confirmation) = $100

**if you contest the in-office rapid UA results and request a 2nd test an additional $40 will be charged to your visit**

** if we feel you have tampered with the sample or attempting to tamper with the process and 2nd test will be initiated and an additional $40 will be charged to your visit**

**Tampering with the sample or attempting to tamper with the process is grounds for possible immediate discharge from the clinic program.**

Weekly office visit:  $200 (includes: office visit + Rx + in-office rapid UA).

Weekly Urine Drug Screen (sent to lab for confirmation) $100

  • All new suboxone patients must be seen weekly x 1 month.

  • Failure to do "drive-by" urinalysis every 2 weeks is counted as a "dirty" UA resulting in patient restarting weekly clinic visits x 1 month.​
