What to know before beginning care
The initial evaluation is a 90-minute appointment. It includes a detailed review of medical, psychiatric, social, educational, occupational, and family history, along with current symptoms and previous treatment.
Initial psychiatric evaluation
Medication-management appointments are 30 minutes for adults and 45 minutes for younger patients. Individual therapy, parent sessions, family sessions, and couples sessions are 45 minutes.
Ongoing appointments
Karen is an out-of-network provider and does not participate directly with insurance plans. Depending on the patient’s benefits, the practice may be able to submit claims electronically, or provide a statement with the appropriate billing codes for the patient to submit.
Reimbursement is determined by the patient’s insurance plan, deductible, and out-of-network benefits. Patients should contact their insurer directly to understand their coverage.
Insurance
Full payment is due at the time of the appointment. Cash, checks, and major credit cards are accepted.
