THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
I Amadeus Mental Health & Psychiatric Services ("I Amadeus," "we," "our") is required by law to maintain the privacy of your Protected Health Information ("PHI") and to provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices. We are required to abide by the terms of the Notice currently in effect.
PHI is information about you — including demographic data — that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition, the provision of healthcare to you, or payment for that care, and that identifies you or could reasonably be used to identify you.
The following categories describe the ways we may use and disclose your PHI without your written authorization:
All other uses and disclosures of your PHI require your separate written authorization. You may revoke any authorization at any time in writing, except to the extent that we have already relied on that authorization.
Psychotherapy notes — notes recorded by a mental health professional documenting the contents of a counseling session, kept separately from your general medical record — receive special protection under HIPAA. Disclosure of psychotherapy notes requires your separate, specific written authorization, except in very limited circumstances defined by law (e.g., to prevent a serious and imminent threat, or for certain oversight activities).
To exercise any of the rights described above, submit a written request to I Amadeus at 777 Brickell Ave, Suite 500, Miami, Florida 33131, or contact us at (954) 355-5541.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with I Amadeus or with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
We reserve the right to change the terms of this Notice and to make the new Notice effective for all PHI we maintain. We will post the revised Notice on our website at www.amadeusamadeus.com and provide a copy to you upon request.

IF YOU ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER: Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room now. I Amadeus is not a crisis or emergency service.
I Amadeus provides mental health and psychiatric telehealth services exclusively via live, two-way video. Because our providers cannot physically reach you in an emergency, every patient must have a documented safety plan on file. This policy describes your emergency resources and our emergency response procedures.

Florida's Baker Act (§394.463 F.S.) allows for the involuntary examination of a person who, due to mental illness, poses a danger to themselves or others or is unable to care for their own safety. If your provider believes Baker Act criteria are met, they are legally authorized to initiate the process, including contacting law enforcement. This decision is never made lightly and is always in your best interest and in accordance with Florida law.
I Amadeus may require in-person or higher-level care if you are experiencing: active suicidal ideation with plan and intent; active psychosis with severe disorganization; acute substance withdrawal requiring medical monitoring; or a medical emergency. We will always assist you in connecting with the appropriate level of care.
Effective Date: April 1, 2026Authority: §456.47 F.S. | §394.463 F.S. (Baker Act)
Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. When patients cancel without adequate notice or do not attend their appointments, that time cannot be offered to another patient who may be in need. This policy ensures fair access to care for all I Amadeus patients.
We require a minimum of 24 hours' advance notice to cancel or reschedule any appointment. Cancellations may be made by:
Cancellations made via unencrypted text message, standard email, or voicemail outside business hours may not be received in a timely manner and are not guaranteed to count as proper notice. We strongly recommend using the patient portal or calling during business hours.
Cancellation with 24+ hours' notice No charge
Cancellation with less than 24 hours' notice Set by Practice (to be disclosed at intake) — patient responsibility only
No-Show (no contact, missed appointment)Set by Practice (to be disclosed at intake) — patient responsibility only
Late arrival resulting in shortened session Full session fee applies
Note: Late cancellation and no-show fees are the sole financial responsibility of the patient. This fee will be charged to the card on file.
Three or more no-shows or late cancellations within a 12-month period may result in:
We understand that genuine emergencies occur. If you miss an appointment due to a true emergency, please contact us as soon as possible. We will review the circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
If a session cannot proceed due to a technology failure on our end, you will not be charged and we will reschedule at no cost to you. If a technology failure occurs on your end and you are unable to reconnect within 15 minutes, the session may be considered a late cancellation. Please test your device and internet connection before each appointment.
I Amadeus will provide as much advance notice as possible if your provider needs to cancel or reschedule. In the event of an urgent provider cancellation, we will contact you promptly and prioritize your rescheduling.
Effective Date: April 1, 2026 This fee is non-billable to insurance per CMS guidelines.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs for non-emergency healthcare services before receiving care.

Before your first appointment and upon request at any time, I Amadeus will provide you with a written Good Faith Estimate that includes:
If your actual bill is $400 or more above the Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. To dispute, you must initiate the dispute process within 120 days of receiving your bill.

I Amadeus provides all psychiatric and mental health services exclusively via synchronous (real-time, live two-way video) telehealth in compliance with Florida Statute §456.47. Audio-only (phone-only) sessions are not permitted under Florida telehealth law for psychiatric services and are not available at i. Amadeus.
To participate in a telehealth session, you will need:
We recommend testing your device, camera, microphone, and internet connection at least 15 minutes before each appointment. i. Amadeus cannot be held responsible for session disruptions caused by patient-side technology failures.
I Amadeus uses only HIPAA-compliant, encrypted telehealth platforms that have executed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with our practice.
We do not permit sessions conducted over standard FaceTime, WhatsApp, unencrypted Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Google Meet (without a BAA), or any non-HIPAA-compliant communication tool.
You acknowledge and understand the following inherent limitations of telehealth services:
All telehealth sessions are conducted on encrypted, end-to-end secure platforms. Session content is never recorded without your explicit written consent. Your protected health information transmitted during telehealth sessions is protected under HIPAA and the Florida Information Protection Act (§501.171 F.S.).
If a technology failure occurs during your session:
Florida law requires that I Amadeus verify your identity and confirm you are physically located in Florida at the start of every telehealth session. Your provider will ask you to confirm your full name, date of birth, and current physical location (city and state) at the beginning of each appointment. This information will be documented in your session note.
Effective Date: April 1, 2026Authority: §456.47 F.S. | 45 CFR §164.312 | §501.171 F.S.
This agreement applies to all patients receiving medication management services at iI Amadeus, including but not limited to prescription of psychiatric medications, stimulants, mood stabilizers, anxiolytics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and sleep aids.
I Amadeus prescribers are committed to evidence-based, clinically sound prescribing practices. All medication decisions are made collaboratively with patients and are based on diagnosis, symptom severity, medical history, risk factors, and current clinical guidelines. No medication will be prescribed without a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation.
I Amadeus follows all federal DEA regulations and Florida laws governing controlled substance prescribing (§456.44 F.S., §893 F.S.). Key rules include:
Refill requests should be submitted through your patient portal or by calling (954) 355-5541 at least 5 business days before your medication runs out. Refill requests made outside of a scheduled visit are handled at the provider's discretion. Emergency refills are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Pharmacy selection: You are responsible for providing your preferred pharmacy's name and contact information. Once a prescription is sent electronically, changes to the pharmacy require a new request.
Some medications require prior authorization from your insurance plan before they will be covered. I Amadeus will assist with prior authorization requests as clinically appropriate. However, we cannot guarantee approval, and insurance denials do not obligate I Amadeus to prescribe an alternative medication that is not clinically appropriate for you.
Your provider will discuss the risks, benefits, alternatives, and expected outcomes of any prescribed medication before you begin treatment. You have the right to refuse any medication. You will be asked to provide written informed consent for certain high-risk medications or drug classes. If you have questions about a medication at any time, ask your provider or contact our office.
Violations of this agreement — including misrepresentation, obtaining duplicate prescriptions, selling or diverting medications, or threatening behavior — will result in immediate termination of the patient-provider relationship and, where legally required, reporting to appropriate authorities.

I Amadeus is committed to communicating with patients in ways that are secure, private, and HIPAA-compliant. Because all communications involving your Protected Health Information (PHI) must be protected, we have clear guidelines about which communication channels are appropriate for different types of messages.
I Amadeus is NOT a crisis service. Never use any communication channel below to request emergency assistance. In a psychiatric emergency, call 911 or 988.
Channel Appropriate For Secure Patient Portal (preferred)Appointment requests, refill requests, clinical questions, document sharing, billing inquiries, secure messaging with your provider Emergencies, urgent clinical concerns requiring same-day response
Phone — (954) 355-5541 Scheduling, urgent clinical questions (business hours), billing, general inquiries Psychiatric emergencies (call 911/988)
Encrypted Email (via portal)Administrative correspondence, documents, billing questions
Unencrypted text messages and standard email (non-HIPAA-compliant) cannot be used to transmit your Protected Health Information. If you send PHI to us via unencrypted text or standard email, i. Amadeus will not respond through that channel and will ask you to use the patient portal.
We may use standard text messages or email for limited, non-PHI administrative purposes (e.g., appointment reminders, links to the patient portal) only if you have provided written consent. These communications will not include any clinical or health-related content.
Communication Type Expected Response
Time Patient portal messages (clinical)Within 2 business days
Refill requests (via portal) Within 3–5 business days (submit before running out)
Administrative inquiries Within 2 business days
Phone calls during business hours Same business day where possible; next business day otherwise After-hours urgent line (if available)
See After-Hours & Crisis Policy (Policy 14)
I Amadeus does not provide 24/7 clinical support. Messages received outside of business hours will be reviewed on the next business day. If you are experiencing a psychiatric emergency after hours, do not wait for a response — contact 911, 988, or go to your nearest emergency room.
I Amadeus does not accept friend or follow requests from current or former patients on any personal social media platform. This policy is in place to protect your privacy and to maintain appropriate professional boundaries. You should not communicate clinical, billing, or appointment information through social media platforms. Official I Amadeus social media accounts are for informational and educational purposes only and are not monitored for clinical inquiries.
With your written consent, I Amadeus may send you appointment reminders via text message or email. These reminders will contain only the date, time, and practice name — no clinical information. You may opt out of reminders at any time by contacting our office.

In accordance with HIPAA (45 CFR §164.524) and Florida law (§456.057 F.S.), patients have the right to inspect and obtain copies of their medical and billing records. I Amadeus is committed to honoring this right promptly and in full compliance with applicable law.
To request a copy of your records, you must submit a written request using one of the following methods:
All records requests require a completed, signed HIPAA Authorization for Release of Information. Forms are available on our website and patient portal.
I Amadeus will respond to records requests within 30 days of receiving a valid written request. If additional time is needed (e.g., records are stored off-site), we will notify you in writing within 30 days and may take up to an additional 30 days to fulfill the request (total of 60 days).

Psychotherapy notes (notes kept separately from the general medical record documenting the contents of counseling sessions) are subject to special protections under HIPAA. A separate, specific authorization is required for the release of psychotherapy notes, and we reserve the right to decline release in certain clinically or legally defined circumstances.
In limited circumstances, I Amadeus may deny access to your records (e.g., if we determine that access would be reasonably likely to endanger your life or safety or that of another person, or where access is restricted by court order). Any denial will be provided to you in writing, with the reason for denial and information about your right to request a review of the denial.
Records may be released to a parent, legal guardian, or personal representative with valid legal authority (e.g., healthcare surrogate, power of attorney, court order).

Requests by minors' parents are subject to Florida law governing minor consent and confidentiality (§394.4784 F.S.).

Effective Date: April 1, 2026Authority: §456.057 F.S. | 45 CFR §164.524
I Amadeus recognizes that the ending of a therapeutic or clinical relationship is a significant event. Whether care is terminated at your request or by the practice, we are committed to ensuring a safe, respectful, and clinically appropriate transition that protects your continuity of care.
You have the right to discontinue services with I Amadeus at any time. If you choose to end your care:

In cases involving immediate safety risk to providers or staff, active fraud, or controlled substance diversion, I Amadeus may terminate the relationship immediately. In such cases, we will: provide a minimum of 30 days of clinically necessary medication coverage as legally appropriate; provide referrals to alternative care; and document all actions taken.
I Amadeus is committed to never abandoning a patient. We will always provide appropriate bridge care and referrals to ensure you are connected with necessary services before termination takes effect. If you believe you have been improperly discharged, you may file a complaint with the Florida Department of Health MQA at (850) 488-0595 or with the U.S. HHS Office for Civil Rights.
Patients who have been discharged from iI Amadeus may request re-enrollment after a minimum waiting period, at the practice's discretion. Re-enrollment is not guaranteed.
