Website terms
Terms of Use
The rules and important limitations that apply when you visit or use DriveMentalHealth.com.
These Terms of Use govern access to DriveMentalHealth.com. They apply to the website and its general communications, not to clinical care provided under a separate patient agreement.
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using DriveMentalHealth.com, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
Drive Mental Health may revise these terms periodically. Continued use of the website after revised terms are posted means you accept the updated terms.
Informational Website Only
The website provides general information about Drive Mental Health, psychiatric services, medication management, insurance participation, and mental health topics. Website content is provided for general informational purposes and is not individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Do not disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of information you read on this website.
No Provider-Patient Relationship
Visiting the website, submitting a form, sending a message, requesting an appointment, or participating in a free consultation does not create a provider-patient relationship with Drive Mental Health or any clinician.
A provider-patient relationship begins only after Drive Mental Health accepts you for clinical care and the required intake and consent process is completed. Clinical services are governed by separate practice policies, informed-consent documents, and applicable law.
Emergencies and Crisis Services
Drive Mental Health is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are experiencing a psychiatric and/or medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Website forms, email, text messaging, and routine administrative messages are not monitored continuously and should not be used for urgent or emergency needs.
Scheduling, Insurance, and Services
Appointment requests are subject to availability, clinical fit, licensing requirements, and completion of required administrative steps. Submitting information or scheduling a consultation does not guarantee acceptance for treatment.
Insurance information on the website is general. Participation, eligibility, benefits, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, authorizations, and coverage vary by plan. Benefits verification is not a guarantee of payment, and the health plan makes the final coverage determination when a claim is processed.
Descriptions of services and areas of care do not promise a diagnosis, medication, prescription, or other specific treatment. Recommendations depend on an individual psychiatric evaluation.
Communications and SMS
If you voluntarily provide contact information, Drive Mental Health may respond by phone, email, or text as permitted by law and consistent with your choices.
If you opt in to text messages, message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services. Reply STOP to opt out and HELP for assistance.
Electronic communications can carry privacy and security risks. Do not use ordinary website forms, email, or text messaging to send information you consider highly sensitive unless Drive Mental Health has directed you to an appropriate secure method.

Intellectual Property
The website's text, design, branding, graphics, logos, and other content are owned by or licensed to Drive Mental Health and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view and print website content for personal, noncommercial use. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, sell, or exploit website content without prior written permission, except as permitted by law.
Third-Party Services
The website may link to scheduling, telehealth, payment, insurance, social-media, or other services operated by third parties. Drive Mental Health does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices.
Your use of a third-party service is governed by that service's own terms and privacy policies.
Website Disclaimers
The website and its content are provided on an "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Drive Mental Health disclaims warranties concerning the website's uninterrupted availability, accuracy, completeness, or suitability for a particular nonclinical purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Drive Mental Health will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising solely from use of, or inability to use, the website.
Nothing in these Terms of Use limits obligations or liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and these website terms do not replace the agreements or standards governing clinical care.
Governing Law and Changes
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning these website terms will be handled in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to applicable law.
We may update these terms periodically. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
