I recently went to a psychologist of some sort to screen for depression. I'm 16 and he asked a bunch of questions getting to know me and such, and one of his questions was do you use drugs or alcohol?
Now since I had doctor patient confidentiality I told him I smoked twice a week (a slight fib, more like twice a day), and drank maybe once a month.
That was Monday, today is Saturday and I have recieved a letter in the mail from Health Integrated, that says my psychologist's name has requested outpatient services.

"Determination:
The Plan has determined that the propposed outpatient behavioral health or substance abuse service is medically necessary, and meets committee approved criteria, policy and/or procedure related to your medical condition. Authorization of additional visits will require submission of an Outpatient Treatment Review (OTR) form."

Does this mean that he wants me to get help for substance abuse and won't see me again until I submit a form to him that proves I went to get help for my "substance abuse?"
If so then this is a load of bullcrap and theres no way I'm going back to this moron.
