Why This In-Person Visit Is Required

Federal & DEA Requirements

This policy follows DEA guidance and the Ryan Haight Act to ensure safe and compliant prescribing of controlled substances:

Current patients who've completed an in-person visit are already compliant
Current patients without a prior visit must complete one by the end of 2026
New patients or those starting controlled medications must complete one within 6 months

Flexible Options for Completion

This visit can be completed with your provider at Mile High Psychiatry or with your Primary Care Provider. If using the PCP option, patients must print our collaborative practitioner form, bring it to their PCP for signature during an in-person visit, and have the PCP's office fax the completed form directly to us at (833) 941-5047 to ensure proper documentation and compliance.
