Do you offer tele-psychiatry/ video sessions?

Yes, we are available to meet for appointments by Telehealth or in-person.

Do you accept health insurance?

We are considered "out-of-network” with all insurance plans, other than Aetna, UC SHIP, and Humana. When working with our psychiatry team on an “out-of-network” basis, we can ensure the upmost confidentiality and provide the most individually tailored, concierge-level care without limitations set by outside entities. We are happy to provide a statement with the proper medical codes called a “superbill” should you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance plan. Your portion (co-pay, co-insurance, and/or deductible) will be based upon your particular health insurance plan's benefits.  Please consult your insurance plan website or contact your plan directly with questions. 

Here are some questions you might want to ask:

  • Do I have an annual deductible for outpatient mental health visits with a psychiatrist?

  • If so, have I met this deductible?

  • What is my co-pay or co-insurance per visit?

  • Your insurance plan may be able to tell you how much they would cover for common psychiatric CPT/procedure codes, e.g., for therapy + med management visits: 99214+90836 or 99214 +90838. Insurance companies usually offer higher reimbursement for appointments with an MD compared to those with a psychologist or therapist.

What is your cancellation/rescheduling policy?

Once we schedule your appointment, I hold that time specially for you. For cancellations or rescheduling, please contact me at least 2 full business days prior to your appointment, so that I have sufficient time to reschedule someone else who may be in need. For example, if your appointment is on Tuesday at 1pm, please call me no later than the previous Friday at 1pm to cancel. If you do not provide two business days notice, you will be responsible for the full session fee. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not reimburse for late cancellations. Emergencies are handled on a case-by-case basis.

How can I request prescription refills?

Medication prescriptions should be discussed and handled during our scheduled appointment visits. Sufficient medication will be prescribed at each appointment to last until the next planned follow-up appointment. Medication prescription requests outside of sessions will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If a refill is needed between appointments, please contact me by phone or schedule a sooner appointment for us to meet.  Please be aware I do not respond to pharmacies requests without also hearing from patients directly (as pharmacies consistently fax erroneous automatic requests). Time spent on your care outside of appointments, including prescription requests, is not covered by insurance and will be billed on a pro-rated basis. Typical charges for prescriptions outside of session are $50-100.
