A referral is accepted only after the practice has reviewed the proposed service, availability, and the framework for professional responsibilities.
Must an order already be entered?
No. Counsel may inquire before an order is entered. Confirm the proposed role and clinician’s willingness to consider the case before submitting language naming the practice.
Can counsel contact Dr. Washam directly?
The practice’s published telephone number is 859.396.7123. Its public contact page invites text or voicemail. Keep the first communication limited and ask how to provide documents.
Does the practice provide reports or testimony?
Reports, professional consultation, depositions, or testimony may be considered when they fall within a properly defined and accepted engagement. Their possibility does not constitute a promise of availability or of a particular opinion.
Does the practice perform custody evaluations?
Reunification treatment and custody evaluation are distinct functions. Do not assume that a referral for one includes the other; clarify the precise clinical service being requested.
How quickly can a case begin?
No waiting period or start date is promised on this site. Provide any relevant deadline when inquiring, then obtain a direct response about availability.
What if participation or payment is disputed?
Identify the disputed issue and clarify the governing order or agreement with the appropriate professionals. A public FAQ cannot resolve the parties’ obligations. Ask the practice what needs to be settled before it can consider the engagement.
May records be uploaded here?
No. This site does not collect clinical files or court orders. Request the practice’s instructions for transferring requested records.
