We do not accept insurance or Medicare. Some insurance carriers may cover medical services performed by our clinicians. We will provide you with a detailed Invoice/Superbill for services performed for you to submit to your insurance carrier directly.
Why we require payment up-front, and why we charge for missed appointments – Hope Integrative Psychiatry is a low volume office where your booked appointment is reserved in advance for you. Since we do not overbook, a missed appointment represents a loss for our staff and to the center, therefore we require a 48 hour notice of cancellation for all appointments.
Most insurance companies contractual requirements are too limiting for Integrative Medicine to provide the quality of care we believe is needed for your optimal recovery and health. It is our belief that by working through our difficulties fully, complete recovery is possible and mental health care costs should be a time limited investment.
How you can bill your own insurance?
After payment is made to our office, the bills can be submitted to PPO insurance plans as “out of network” directly by you. You will be reimbursed dependent upon your individual insurance plan. Please contact your insurance company for information on your coverage for “out of network” providers.
Respectfully, we are not providers for any HMO insurance or Medicare. Medicare patients are also required to pay upfront and per medical regulations may NOT be eligible for reimbursements.
NO SUPRISES ACT: GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, out-of-network healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals upon request or at the time of scheduling healthcare items and services for out-of-network services, a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges for the year.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your care could cost over the year.
We also provide a service which you can verify your out of network benefits called Reimbursify. You can access this service through the link here. https://practitioner.reimbursify.com/verifast?ec=1C0F2I1F5H
