Neurological Disorders do not use this service

Medications prescribed for a neurological disorder like a seizure disorder do not fall under the psychotropic medication review requirements and are not addressed by the Preconsent Review service. We only review psychotropic medication plans for children with psychiatric disorders. Please call 1-866-453-2266 if you have any questions about whether your case concerns a neurological or a psychiatric disorder.

Preconsent Review for Children Under Age 11
Receiving Two or More Psychotropic Medications

Completing the online preconsent review form

  • To make submissions user-friendly, the online preconsent form includes multiple drop-down menus (“please select option”) for items like county or medication names.
  • It also lets you click a button to calculate age and BMI after you enter birth date, height and weight, and automatically enters Judicial Circuit once you select county of residence.
  • Most menu choices include an option of “other” for you – if you don’t find the needed choice, select “other” and a box will open where you type in your other information.
  • At the end of Section 3 (Psychotropic Medication Planned) you will be given the option to suggest a trial of another medication of the same drug class in case your first choice fails to produce identified treatment goals – you have the option to propose such a trial or can skip the option.
  • The preconsent review form allows review of up to four different medications; you will see the choice of “add another planned medication” at the end of Section 3. If you select this option, you will be given an entry field for planned medications #2, #3 and #4, if needed.
  • Examples of monitoring plans are provided; it is not required that you use the plans exactly as shown, however, your monitoring plans need to be consistent with good quality of care.
