Hi Everyone!

COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Ending Soon!

As you may or may not know as of May 11th, the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency is ending. During the Emergency, some requirements about prescribing controlled substances were temporarily waived, including the Ryan Haight Act of 2008 which places strict regulations on medications prescribed via telehealth appointments.

If you are a patient of DMV Medical Group and live in the state of Maryland who currently has a prescription for a controlled substance medication*, and you have not been seen in person by our provider(s) in the past 6 months, you will need to be seen in person soon to continue receiving prescription refills of your medication. Those who live in DC and VA will need to continue to be seen in person for ALL controlled substance refills.

Please discuss this new change and schedule an in-person visit during your next appointment with your provider. Failure to comply with these legal requirements by seeing your provider for an in-person visit will preclude your provider’s ability to refill your controlled substance prescription.

We know change can be difficult but we appreciate your understanding as we do our part to comply with these changes in legal requirements. We are here to support you through the transition. So please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns at (240) 669-7496.

*Some common controlled substances include:
Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine)
Ambien (zolpidem)
Concerta (methylphenidate)
Focalin (dexmethylphenidate)
Klonipin (clonazepam)
Ritalin (methylphenidate)
Xanax (alprazolam)
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)

This list is not all-inclusive. Please contact our office if you are not sure whether your medication is a controlled substance.

Steps to Reduce Job Stress

Did you know a recent poll said that about 40% of US workers feel that work stress is the main stressor in their life? Having a work-life balance by setting boundaries is the key to successfully surviving any job. Some other helpful tips are:

Identify what the issue is on your job. Discussing with leaders/managers, employees, and human resources is often a good place to start identifying the problem's root cause. Sometimes a survey is also useful if you work in a larger organization to measure the level of stress employees may be experiencing. After collecting the data, it will need to be analyzed to identify the issue(s) because employee perception is vital to be aware of to avoid absenteeism, poor performance, and high turnover rates which in turn leads to financial loss.

Next, identifies corrective strategies to address the identified issues. Communicate the proposed intervention to employees and gain input. Such strategies could be stress management training or ways to improve communication.

Circle back and evaluate the proposed changes. By circling back this lets employees know that what they have shared regarding workload, lack of communication, environmental conditions, stress, and mental health is not only valuable to the success of the company but also to the employee's successful endeavor within the company.

I encourage you to share these tips with your organization or if you are a leader at your organization or own your own company to utilize these steps to help employees decrease their stress levels and improve their mental health status today!
