Forms and paperwork
Every form is completed and signed inside the client portal — that is the secure channel, and it means nothing has to be printed, scanned or posted.
Which forms will I need to complete?
New Lyte Psychiatry patients complete an intake form, consent to treat, financial agreement and telehealth consent in the client portal.
What is included in new-patient intake?
Before your first visitLyte Psychiatry sends intake through the portal after you book, and due before the first appointment. Demographics, history, current medications, pharmacy, insurance and consent to treat. Complete it before the visit so your clinician can review it.
What do I agree to before treatment?
Before your first visitLyte Psychiatry includes treatment and financial consent in intake. Covers what treatment involves, the limits of confidentiality, and your financial responsibility including the cancellation policy.
When might I need a release of information?
Any time you want us to coordinateAsk Lyte Psychiatry whether a release is needed for the intended recipient and record type. Some treatment disclosures are permitted without a separate release; other records have additional protections. Read the form before signing.
How do I request my records?
On requestRequest your Lyte Psychiatry records through the portal or in writing. Ask the clinic about the applicable timeframe, format and any permitted fees.
What is telehealth consent?
Before your first video visitLyte Psychiatry includes telehealth consent in intake for video visits: how the platform works, its limits, and what happens if the connection fails mid-visit.
Where can I read the privacy notice?
Always availableLyte Psychiatry’s privacy notice explains how your health information is used and disclosed, and your rights over it under HIPAA. Provided at intake and available on the site at any time.
Can Lyte Psychiatry provide letters for work or school?
Lyte Psychiatry can provide some letters and documentation when clinically supported. Ask at an appointment where possible — most letters need a conversation about what the recipient actually requires. Allow five business days, and longer for forms that run to several pages.
What we can provide
- A clinically supported letter confirming appropriate information about your care
- Documentation of diagnosis and functional impact for a school or employer disability office
- Standard FMLA and short-term disability paperwork, completed from what is in your record
- A letter supporting a workplace or academic accommodation request
- A letter for an emotional support animal, only where it is clinically justified by your record
What we cannot
- A back-dated note for an absence that happened before you were our patient
- A note confirming something we have no clinical basis to confirm
- Court-ordered evaluations, custody evaluations, or forensic assessments
- Disability determinations for Social Security — those are made by SSA, though we supply records
- Documentation for a condition outside the clinician’s current scope of care
A letter records what is in your chart. If something is not documented because it has not been assessed, the honest answer is that we cannot write it — but we can usually assess it at your next visit and write it afterwards.
