At Apollo Psychiatry, you work directly with me — a board-certified psychiatrist — in a small practice built around time, attention, and collaboration. My fees are transparent and published below, so you know what to expect before your first visit.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
90 MINUTES
$750
Your first visit is an unhurried, in-depth evaluation of your history, symptoms, goals, and prior treatment. Together we build a personalized plan, which may include medication, psychotherapy, lab work, or other services.
Included in your evaluation:
Review of the records you upload to your patient portal before your visit
Coordination with your therapist, physician, and other providers, with your permission (up to 30 minutes as part of your evaluation). If you don't have a therapist or primary care physician, I can recommend referrals
Treatment recommendations tailored to you
Before your evaluation: please upload your prior medical and mental health records, test results, lab work, assessments, and past medication history to your patient portal at least 3 business days before your visit..
This visit is also a chance for both of us to decide whether my practice is the right fit. It does not guarantee ongoing treatment or a specific prescription. If another model of care would serve you better, I will provide referrals.
FOLLOW-UP (medication management visit)
25 MINUTES
$300
Follow-up appointments for continued care and medication management are typically 25 minutes, focusing on your progress, any side effects, and changes in your circumstances. Treatment plans and medications are adjusted as needed. For more in-depth discussions, 50-minute sessions are available. While the frequency of appointments varies based on individual needs, patients are seen at least every 3 months to ensure safe and effective care.
FOLLOW-UP (extended medication management visit)
50 MINUTES
$400
This 50-minute follow-up option is ideal for patients needing additional support or complex medication management. It allows for in-depth discussions, thoughtful treatment adjustments, and integration of psychotherapy and psychoeducation.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
50 MINUTES
$400
The journey to self-realization and mental well-being often requires both medication and psychotherapy, as medications alone may not fully address underlying challenges. Medications can help you feel better and more engaged in therapy, which is crucial for lasting improvement. While medications may take you part of the way, the deeper work of psychotherapy is essential for the remaining steps. Effective therapy requires a commitment to weekly sessions, with frequency adjusted over time based on your progress and needs.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND FEES
I'm reachable through the secure patient portal. I aim to handle questions, refills, and paperwork during our visits; care that requires time outside a session is billed by time, as detailed in your Good Faith Estimate and Practice Policies.
INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT
Payment is due at time of service. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express.
The doctor-patient relationship takes time, and it is at the heart of my practice. Working outside insurance networks lets the length and frequency of your visits follow your needs and our shared decisions, and your health information stays between us unless you choose to submit it for reimbursement.
Apollo Psychiatry is an out-of-network practice, and many patients use their out-of-network benefits. After each visit, you will receive a superbill to submit directly to your insurer. Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend checking your benefits before your first visit. Clinically accurate codes do not guarantee reimbursement.
Here is a useful guide that might help you understand out-of-network benefits and how they are reimbursed. Please contact your insurance provider for coverage terms.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
STANDARD NOTICE - “Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges” under the No Surprises Act.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
