FOLLOW-UP (medication management visit)

25 MINUTES

$250

Usual follow-up appointments for continued care and medication management are scheduled for 25 minutes. This meeting allows us to check in about your progress, medication side effects, new stressors, and any new medical or personal challenges. We will make adjustments to your medications and treatment plan accordingly. Your needs may change over time, and you can always schedule a follow-up visit for 50 minutes, as below. Although the time between appointments will depend on your individual needs and treatment plan, it is my practice to see patients every 3 months at a minimum for ongoing medication management, so that we can continue a safe and effective therapeutic alliance.

FOLLOW-UP (extended medication management visit)

50 MINUTES

$350

This option is available for patients who wish to see me for a 50 minute follow-up medication management visit for additional support or if your clinical situation warrants complex management. This generous time allows us to discuss your concerns in-depth and make changes to your treatment plan in a thoughtful manner, often combining psychotherapeutic approaches and extensive psychoeducation.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND FEES

I strive to be responsive and available for my patients and their needs, and I am reachable over phone and through the secure patient portal. While I aim to complete any required paperwork, refills, and address all your questions during our appointment, occasionally these services are more involved and require time outside your session. In that event, additional fees may be assessed for paperwork, phone calls, etc. Kindly look at your Patient Policies and Practices for details regarding these services.

INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT

Payment is due at time of service. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

The doctor-patient relationship takes time, and it is the most important aspect of my practice at Apollo Psychiatry. That is why I operate on a fee-for-service basis. Although I am not on any commercial insurance panels and will be considered an “out-of-network” provider, many patients are able to submit receipts for reimbursement by utilizing any out-of-network insurance benefits. After each appointment, you will be provided a comprehensive receipt, called a “super bill,” to submit directly to your insurance company. 

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.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call Apollo Psychiatry at (214) 506-3334
