How much would it cost me?

In-network Insurance? 

If your plan is in-network, then your cost is usually your copay. If you have a high deductible plan, then you may have to meet the deductible before your insurance starts to pay. We can let you know the specifics prior to our initial appointment. You can also check this via the Headway portal. Please complete the form below to initiate the process. 

 

Out-of-Network Insurance or Out-of-pocket? 

Professional Fees

You are responsible for payment at the time of your session unless prior arrangements have been made. Payment may be made by credit card, debit card, or HSA which will be kept on file and charged automatically via the Headway portal. 

 

Rates: For in-network patients, your cost will be  your copay (or any deductibles)... please use the calculator below to get the best cost estimate. 

  • Initial appointment: $350/visit
  • Follow-Up 30 minute appointment: $250/visit
  • Follow-Up 60 minute appointment: $350/visit 

 

Fee Schedule

No-Surprise Act: The No Surprise Act aims to limit the amount you pay out of pocket to a level closer to what you would pay if the healthcare provider were in-network. The Act defines this limit using a recognized market amount or qualifying figure (like the average fee for the service). You can review the details here: https://www.cms.gov/medical-bill-rights

 

Frequency of visits:

For medication management, typical visits often vary between monthly to once every 3 months. During the initial phase of treatment, you may be recommended to be seen after a few weeks only as clinically indicated.

Good faith estimates are provided below. Please use the calculator to estimate your annual costs. 

 

Attendance, Punctuality, No-Show and Late-Cancelation Policy: Please attend scheduled appointments on time and notify our office in advance if you need to reschedule.


• All appointments must be canceled or rescheduled a minimum of 24 hours before the appointment. Less than 24-hour cancelation is considered “late-cancelation” and a missed appointment is considered a “no-show”. For both late-cancelation and no-show, you will be responsible for paying the full fee that insurance would pay for that session or a minimum of $150, whichever is higher. Please note that these are out-of-pocket expenses and the patient is not reimbursed by their insurance plans for late-cancelations and no-shows.


• You are responsible for coming to your session on time; if you are more than 15 minutes late, we will not be able to bill for your session and thus, it will be considered a missed appointment (no-show).

30 min Follow-Up Appointment: $250

How do I use my Out-Of-Network (OON) benefits if my plan is not in-network?

Out-Of-Network: 

We understand navigating out-of-network mental health care can be challenging. That's why we have partnered with a convenient resource: Thrizer! Through Thrizer, you can easily submit your out-of-network claims, often receiving reimbursements directly into your bank account. This simplifies the process, reducing the financial burden and allowing you to focus on your mental well-being. 

You can check your Out-Of-Network Benefits Here!  

 

  • Simplified Claim Submission: Thrizer streamlines the process of submitting out-of-network claims, eliminating the need for complex paperwork.
  • Automatic Claim Filing: They handle the tedious work of filing claims with your insurance company, saving you valuable time and effort.
  • Direct Reimbursement: Thrizer aims to get reimbursements deposited directly into your bank account, providing quick access to your funds.
  • Maximize Your Benefits: Thrizer helps you understand and utilize your out-of-network benefits to their fullest potential, potentially increasing your reimbursement amount.
  • Tracking and Transparency: You can easily track the status of your claims through their platform, providing transparency and peace of mind.
  • User-Friendly Platform: Their online platform is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate, making the reimbursement process as smooth as possible.

 

Alternatively, we will provide you with a super bill for you to submit for a claim with your insurance, if applicable to your situation. 

If you are a new patient or considering becoming one, I am thrilled to welcome you to the HolistiCare, LLC Psychiatry. My goal is to provide you with the highest quality of care in a compassionate and supportive environment.

HolistiCare, LLC welcomes patients of ALL backgrounds, race, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity, faiths, or other personal or social characteristics.

Complete this form and await for a response from us before proceeding to Step 2. Please allow 1 to 2 business days for a response. 

If you are suicidal and either at risk for harming yourself or others, please call 911 or report to the nearest emergency department. 

 












step 2. insurance verification via headway

We use Headway to verify insurance, file claims, and charge any co-payments. 

 

In this step, you will receive an invitation to create your own portal for Headway. Look for an email invitation from Headway (and check spam folder if needed). Please complete your profile on Headway.co as soon as possible. 

 

If you plan to pay out-of-pocket without any insurance plans, you will still use Headway to make payments. 

step 3. register for patient portal via osmind

We use an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system called Osmind

Once your insurance information is verified and you've created your Headway portal in Step 2, you will be sent a link to register for Osmind. 

Osmind is specifically designed for psychiatrist and we will use this portal and associated app. for communications, and maintaining your medical records. 

Please set aside 10 to 15 minutes and provide as much detailed background information as possible. The greater the details, the better understanding we will have of your medical/psychiatric history, and an optimal diagnosis.

 

Don't forget to download the Osmind app. which will allow you to message us via this HIPAA-compliant, secured app. 

 

step 4. appointment confirmation

Once you are onboarded in Osmind (Step 3), then we are able to communicate with you regarding times and dates for an initial (intake) appointment. 

 

You will receive a text and email with the date/time and a secured, HIPAA-compliant Zoom link. 

 

We look forward to meeting with you.
