Fees and Insurance Reimbursement

Investment in Care

A Different Approach to Psychiatric Care

Our practice operates as a private, fee-for-service psychiatry practice. Similar to concierge medicine, this model allows us to spend more time with patients, provide individualized care, and develop tailored treatment plans that can be difficult to achieve in traditional insurance-based settings.

Insurance-based psychiatric care often limits the amount of time physicians can spend with each patient and can create barriers to individualized treatment planning.

Instead, we focus on delivering expert, thoughtful, personalized psychiatric care. For many patients this represents an investment in personalized psychiatric care and long-term wellness.

By remaining independent of insurance networks, we are able to provide comprehensive evaluations, direct physician involvement, and access to advanced treatments such as TMS, Spravato®, ketamine therapy, and evidence-based addiction treatment.

Fees & Payment

As a fee-for-service practice, payment is due at the time of each appointment.

Patients are responsible for payment directly to the practice and out-of-network insurance claims can be submitted for reimbursement when applicable.

We accept:

  • Credit and debit cards
  • HSA and FSA cards
  • Personal checks
  • Cash

To reserve and confirm appointments, a valid credit card must be securely maintained on file.

Insurance & Out-of-Network Benefits

We do not participate with insurance networks.

Many commercial PPO insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits that may reimburse a portion of your treatment costs. Reimbursement amounts vary based on your specific insurance plan.

To simplify the process, our office facilitates the submission of out-of-network claims on your behalf. While reimbursement cannot be guaranteed, many patients are able to utilize their out-of-network benefits to offset a portion of their expenses.

A simple guide to get started

Want to know what to expect from your PPO plan? Insurance can be confusing — here’s a simple guide to get you started:

  1. 1 Call your insurance provider. The number is usually on the back of your insurance card.
  2. 2 Ask about out-of-network coverage. Specifically, ask what percentage is covered for “out-of-network” or “non-participating providers.”
  3. 3 Get the details. Ask about the “maximum allowed amount” per session for these services. We can provide the common CPT (billing) codes we use.
  4. 4 Check your deductible. Find out whether you have an out-of-network deductible, how much it is, and how much has already been applied.
