Question 1

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I currently take Cigna, Aetna and BCBS. I am currently in the process of getting on the panel with United Healthcare, Optum and Oxford.

Fees and rates would depend on your insurance plan and deductible amount. Please contact me for information on your fees and rates.

Question 2

Are appointments virtual or in-person?

Accepted Answer

I offer both virtual and in-person services, with flexibility to meet your needs. Please note that prescribing some medications may require meeting in-person at least once every two years, unless DEA regulations change.

Question 3

What methods of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We currently accept: Cash, Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover and HSA cards.

Question 4

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Advance cancellations (ie, more than 2 business days):  Notice of cancellations or schedule changes is always preferred well in advance. Providing such notice allows us to schedule other patients in your absence.  If needing to request a change at least 2 business days in advance, please contact our office by e-mail or phone.

Late cancellations: Without the advance notice of a cancellation or schedule change within 2 business days of your scheduled appointment, you will be charged a $100 fee. If less than 2 business days before your appointment, please contact our office by e-mail or phone.

Question 5

What if I miss my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Should you miss an appointment, please contact our office via phone or e-mail as soon as possible to reschedule. If you do not provide any notice of cancellation of your appointment and you do not attend or miss your appointment, for any reason, you will be considered a no show (“No Show”).  You will be billed the full fee (100%) for any No Show appointment.

Question 6

How often should I schedule an appointment?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of appointments will be recommended based on your individual needs (such as severity of symptoms), type of appointment (medication management vs. recurring psychotherapy), and treatment plan.

However, it is my policy to see all patients at least every three months (four times a year) to ensure the quality of psychiatric care. Failure to meet this minimum requirement could result in delays to medication access.

Question 7

What services do you NOT provide?

Accepted Answer

We do not prescribe narcotic or pain medications.
We do not perform forensic evaluations, child custody evaluations, or fitness for duty evaluations.
We do not perform neuropsychological testing or services.
