Please reach us at chris.flynn@cpbhc.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We provide evaluations for individual treatment and for occupational requirements (such as fitness for duty or ability to meet regulatory medical standards). Treatments include medications, psychotherapy and psychoeducation; which are offered to treat a wide range of mental health conditions. Let's discuss by phone?
Please note that I only see patients, in person; at my office location. I believe that this offers the best treatment for you.
Please submit a request on the contact page, or call 771 240 3833. We will chat briefly by phone to determine if we are able to provide the type of treatment that you need. Our phone visit is only a pre-screening conversation and does not establish a doctor-patient relationship.
If we agree to schedule a visit, you will receive a link to join the clinic patient portal. We will send you consent forms and survey to complete. Please finalize these forms prior to your first appointment.
Dr. Flynn is not an ‘in network’ provider for any insurance provider. We will provide you with a billing statement that you may submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement benefits. We do not submit bills to your insurance company.
Full payment is due at the time of your visit. We accept debit card and credit card payments.
If we agree to work together, Dr. Flynn will carefully evaluate your symptoms and consider all types of medications that may be needed for your treatment. Typically, benzodiazepine or sleeping medications are only used for a very brief period of time (2 to 3 weeks). They create a ‘bridge’ until safer medications begin to take effect.
If we conclude that you have a diagnosis of inattention, your treatment will begin with a non-stimulant medication. At least half the time, patients respond well to this treatment, which is less harsh on your body. When a stimulant medication is needed, it is only prescribed within standard dose ranges.
Suboxone may be prescribed, if indicated for your care. It will be continued for a short time, using a tapering dose strategy to help you discontinue the medication. If you are seeking ongoing treatment with suboxone, please look for a clinic that provides this type of therapy.
If you are prescribed a controlled substance medication, this must be filled at a Washington DC pharmacy of your choice. A pharmacy in Virginia or Maryland may fill a standard medication prescription.
All CPBHC patients who are prescribed a controlled substance will be required to:
1. sign (and meet the requirements of) a treatment agreement to receive prescriptions,
2. participate in regular urine drug screens,
3. meet any other laboratory and physical testing requirements for your safety.
Please call your pharmacy and have them contact the office. Prescription requests may take up to 72 hours to fill. To avoid running out of medication, contact your pharmacy when you have one week’s worth of medication left.
Note: If you have not had a recent appointment with Dr. Flynn, you might need to come in for a follow-up visit before the refill is authorized.
At times, insurance companies reject a medication and require the office to obtain a ‘preauthorization’ approval for you to receive your prescription. The pharmacy may contact the office and we will begin the process. However, if you receive a notification, please send that information to the office.
Each insurance company has unique requirements before deciding if they will approve your medication. Sometimes an approval can take several days. It is possible that your insurance company will not grant approval for the medication prescribed. If this occurs, we will discuss other medication choices, that may be approved.

When your employer is questioning your ability to continue in your work, it is a time for intense reflection and concern. We want to complete a fair occupational (or fitness for duty) assessment, with you. However, this requires a significant amount of work.
To start, an assessment requires a careful review of your past medical and mental health treatment records plus all information submitted by your employer or regulatory agency. After analyzing these data, we will complete a face-to-face assessment. The exact number of hours can only be guessed, because new information may arise in those meetings -- requiring further investigation. A summary report is then created that discusses the job or regulatory concerns with the assessment findings.
Occupational Assessment fee, per hour: $500 per hour for the first 5 hours, and then $400 per hour.
Lowest Complexity Evaluation, expect at minimum: 6 hours, $2900
Moderate to High Complexity Evaluation, expect 6+ hours, billed by the hour
Further information when scheduling an Occupational Evaluation:
A retainer payment is due when your evaluation is scheduled $1500
Payment of the full balance due is required prior to submitting the final report.
If you require a multidisciplinary assessment, those experts will bill you, separately.
You may be requested to complete laboratory and/or imaging tests, which will bill you separately.
Hours of work begin as soon as we schedule your assessment.
If you cancel your assessment:
* 21+ days before your appointment, we will return $1000
* 14-20 days before your appointment, we will return $750
* 7-13 days before your appointment, we will return $500
If you cancel less than 7 days before your appointment, we do not return any of the retainer fee; as we cannot fill this time that has been committed for you.
