If I am contracted with your insurance, the rate you pay is determined by your insurance company and may be lower than that listed above.
For out-of-network patients, the above fees will apply and your insurance company will reimburse you a proportion of the fee depending on your plan. Most out-of-network reimbursement rates vary from 60%-90%, but I encourage you to contact your insurance company for details.
Patients are also protected by the No Surprises Act.
Most out-of-network reimbursement rates range between 60-90% of the billed rate. To be certain what you will pay, I encourage you to contact your insurance company. Some good questions to ask include:
1) What is my out-of-network deductible?
2) What is my out-of-network out of pocket maximum?
3) What is my reimbursement rate when seeing an out-of-network doctor?
4) Do I have a co-pay or coinsurance? If so, what is the amount?
5) How do I submit a request for out-of-network reimbursement?
If I am contracted with your insurance plan, I will bill your insurance directly. You are responsible for any co-pays/coinsurance that apply for your plan and payment will be collected at time of service.
If you are paying out-of-pocket, I accept cash, check and credit card payments at the time of service. You will recieve a paid-in-full billing statement at the time of payment. This can be sent to your insurance company and they will send your reimbursement directly to you.
In order to maintain compliance with the insurance plans I accept, I utilize CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes for billing.
CPT billing requires psychiatrists to bill based on a combination of complexity (the first number on your bill) and time spent with the patient (the second number).
