Integrative and holistic psychiatry services

After you have requested and received an appointment for an initial consultation, my office will email you forms to complete prior to our first meeting. These forms include various consent forms and patient questionnaires. Completing these forms and submitting them ahead of our meeting will allow me to focus on your needs rather than on collecting information. These forms serve as the basis of our conversation and contribute toward developing an effective diagnosis and personalized treatment recommendation.
 

Insurance Billing

We currently are in-network for Aetna and Anthem Blue Cross and most commercial Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. If you do not have this insurance, you may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. Please call your insurance company prior to your appointment and determine your mental health service benefits. I can provide you with a specialized invoice called a superbill. You can submit a claim to the insurance company directly along with the superbill to request reimbursement.  Many of our patients make use of a convenient service to help facilitate these out-of-network reimbursements.  Contact us for more information. 
 

Cancellation and No-Show Policy

Once we schedule your appointment, I hold that time especially for you. As a courtesy to those who are on the waiting list, please call me at least two business days before your appointment to cancel. For example, if your appointment is on Monday at 4 pm, please call me no later than the previous Thursday at 4 pm to cancel. If you do not give two business days notice, you will be responsible for the full session fee. Unfortunately, no insurance company reimburses for this. Exceptions for emergencies are handled on a case-by-case basis.
 

Payment

You may pay with credit card, with cash, or with a check made out to Intuitive Psychiatry. Payment is due when services are rendered, unless there are extenuating circumstances and arrangements are made in advance.
