Single Case Agreements

If you have been struggling to find timely psychiatric care and we are not in-network with your insurance, it is your right to call your health insurance and request a Single Case Agreement. This will allow you to receive care with us, covered by your insurance. Click here to learn how Single Case Agreements work. Contact our office if you are interested.

Out-of-Network & Self-Pay Options
If we are not in-network with your insurance, you can still receive care with us by using your out-of-network benefits. Many PPO or POS plans have out-of-network benefits that cover a portion of the visit cost.

We price our services relative to Medicare because it provides a nationally recognized framework for valuing psychiatric care. Medicare's fee schedule is based on the time, complexity, and expertise required for different clinical services. Using this model often reduces out-of-network costs, since many insurers reference Medicare when determining benefits.​​
