Forms and Fees
Patient Registration
Items with a * are required.
Prior Authorization Requests
Please Note:
- Prior authorisations are required when your insurance company requires justification for why you need to take this medication.
- Completing a request does not guarantee your insurance company will agree to pay for the medication. I will do my best to advocate for you. Should they deny coverage, your options then would be to pay out of pocket or change medications.
- I will need up to date insurance information (including any of the following if you see it on your card: Plan Name/BIN/PCN/Rx Group). This will help ensure the correct form for your specific insurance is completed. If the wrong form is used, the PA would need to be redone and would delay a response.
- Insurance companies generally have 5-7 days to reply.
- I may need to correspond with you for information regarding previous trials of medications if the insurance company requires.
- Please do not text me to let me know you have a prior authorisation request.
- If you do not want to wait for a response from your insurance company, you can fill it out of pocket. Some insurances will retroactively reimburse you once a PA is completed. There is an app called GoodRx that will provide coupons to help offset the price.

Fees for Treatment
Insurance Accepted
I do take most commercial insurances, as well as Medicare and Medicaid. It is your responsibility to ensure I am within network with your insurance.
For commercial insurances, it is also your responsibility to see what your yearly deductible is and if you have met it. If you have not met your yearly deductible, then visits are out of pocket until deductible is met. My biller will apply it to your insurance.
Out of pocket fees
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation: $350
Follow up appointments/Medication Management: $125
Individual therapy: $350/hour
Second Opinion/One time consult: $500
I accept cash, check, and credit card.
Cancellation Policy
I will generally text reminders of appointments 1-2 days prior to your appointment. You will also receive an email reminder about 1 week before the appointment from my medical records system (It will come from “PatientFusion”)
Appointments that are not cancelled within 24 hours prior to appointment or missed (barring special situations) will be charged the full out of pocket charge. Insurance does not apply to this situation.
