Insurance
We are not a participating provider with any insurance plans, including Medicare.
However, many plans have out of network benefits that allow you to submit a claim and get a portion of the cost reimbursed.
We will provide you with a receipt that has all the information needed to submit to your insurance company to obtain reimbursement if you have this benefit. Each insurance company is different : It is the patient’s responsibility to know their insurance benefits, submit the claims and pursue reimbursement.
If you do not have insurance, or do not intend to use your insurance benefits, we can provide you with an estimate of the cost of treatment as mandated by the No Suprises Law.

Payment
Payment is expected at the time of the visit and we accept Zelle payments, checks, and credit cards (3% processing fee for use of credit card.) We request at least 24 hours notice for appointment cancelations of changes, and visits missed without 24 hours notice will be charged the full fee. We will hold a credit card on file in the event of a balance due more than 30 days.

Appointments
If you’d like to meet with one of our doctors, the next step is to call or email to speak with the Practice Manager to set up an appointment. She will answer any remaining questions you might have and send you paperwork to fill out before the appointment.
The first appointment is an evaluation intended to allow for you and your doctor to get to know one another and determine if it seems like a good fit. There may be times when the doctor feels a patient is better served by another clinician (for instance in the case of opioid dependence which Dr. Harris does not treat), or you might decide we are not the right person for you.
At the end of the initial session, we will give a treatment recommendation and you can decide if you would like to pursue treatment further.
If medication is prescribed, the frequency of visits varies depending on whether dose adjustments are needed. This can be anywhere from every 2 weeks to every 2 months.
Once the medication is stabilized, visits must be every 3 months at a minimum.
