Getting Care: What You Need to Know

1. Registration: The Basics

  • What to bring: Your NHI card and a photo ID (like your driver's license or national ID). If you're under 18, bring your household registration instead.
  • How to register: Walk-in only - no advance booking required.
  • When to check in:
    • First-time patients: Check in at least 30 minutes before we close.
    • Returning patients: Check in at least 15 minutes before we close.
  • ❗️ Early cutoff notice: To keep care quality high, we may stop taking new patients early if there are more than 12 people waiting (or more than 5 new patients) within the last hour before closing.

2. For Patients Under 18

  • First visits: If your parents can't come with you, you'll need to fill out a medical authorization form and parental consent form beforehand.

  • ADHD treatment: If you've seen a psychiatrist elsewhere between ages 6-18, please bring those records. After evaluation and additional assessments (like CPT, ASRS), if long-acting medication is needed, we'll submit a pre-approval application to the health bureau per the August 2022 regulations.

3. Medications & Prescriptions

  • In-person visits required: By law, doctors must see you in person before prescribing. Exception: If you have mobility issues, cognitive impairments, or dementia, someone else can explain your condition and pick up medications.
  • No long-term prescriptions: We don't provide chronic disease continuous prescription forms.
  • Duplicate prescriptions: The health bureau checks for duplicate prescriptions across hospitals. If our system shows you still have medications left, we can't prescribe duplicates. Official notice | 2018 guidelines
  • Sleeping pill regulations (Zolpidem / Zopiclone):
    • Haven't visited in 6 months: You'll be treated as a new patient and can only get a 7-day supply.
    • If you've sleepwalked before: Doctors cannot prescribe these medications to anyone who's had complex sleep behaviors (like sleepwalking or sleep-driving).

4. Other Things to Know

  • If you need more time for in-depth support, ask your doctor about counseling or psychotherapy sessions.
