High quality, individualized psychiatric care is provided to children and teens through this practice only on a fee for service basis.  The practice does not participate in any insurance product or insurance billing.  (Your health insurance may be utilized on an out of network basis however- please see below information regarding using your insurance in this way.)  This allows very high quality, comprehensive care to be dictated by the doctor and the family, not the insurance company. 

Full payment for services rendered on that day will be expected at the time of each office visit.  An itemized receipt will be given to the patient's parent/ legal guardian for each paid service to assist the payer in attempting to obtain out-of-network reimbursement from the patient's insurance provider (if the patient’s policy carries this benefit).  Please contact your insurance provider to understand your policy benefits/ limits regarding out-of-network treatment prior to contacting the office for an appointment.  

Patients without insurance coverage, without out-of-network mental health benefits through their insurance, and patients who do not wish to utilize their insurance benefits can be seen as well, though full payment for services rendered will be expected at the time of each office visit. 

The practice is out of network with all insurance plans at this time.  Please see above for further information regarding fee schedule, etc. 

Please consider taking the time to explore the following resources (as well as those provided here) which provide information to assist patients/ parents/ legal guardians in determining insurance policy mental healthcare benefits and limits (both in-network and out-of-network)—
