Insurance & Payment

Transparent pricing for comprehensive mental health care

We are a fee-for-service practice, which means care is thorough, private, and guided by clinical need—not insurance limits. We also support families and individuals in pursuing out-of-network reimbursement whenever possible.

Why Fee-for-Service?

We operate on a fee-for-service basis for several important reasons:

  • Privacy protected — your records stay between you and your clinician.
  • Deeper evaluations — we go further than standard coverage allows.
  • Advanced options — access to treatments that often aren’t covered.
  • Integrated care — our team works from one coordinated plan.
  • Clinical first — decisions driven by what works, not what’s billable.

Assessments & Fees

Everyone begins with a psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Krasner. The cost depends on the complexity, severity, and acuity of your case.

  • Core evaluation: interviews, questionnaires (PROMs), records review, and diagnostic formulation by Dr. Krasner.
  • Expanded evaluation: for more complex cases—or when schools require IEP/504 documentation—we add integrated psychological testing through our psychology team.

Every assessment delivers:

  • A comprehensive written report
  • Baseline measures to track progress
  • A Living Treatment Plan (LTP) to guide ongoing care

You’ll receive a fee quote after screening and a financial agreement when your treatment plan is published. Billing occurs at the time of service.

Reimbursement Support

We provide the documentation you need—superbills, clinical summaries, prior-authorization letters—to help you recover costs through your out-of-network benefits. Coverage varies by plan, but our team helps you verify your benefits before care begins.

  • Detailed superbills with proper diagnostic and procedural codes
  • Treatment summaries supporting medical necessity
  • Prior authorization letters when required
  • Assistance with appeals if initial claims are denied

Many families are able to recover a portion of their costs through out-of-network benefits, though coverage varies significantly by plan.

No Surprises

As part of the No Surprises Act, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before treatment starts. If your final bill is more than $400 above the estimate, you have the right to dispute it. Learn more at cms.gov/nosurprises.

Payment Options

We accept:

  • Cash, check, or credit card payment
  • HSA and FSA accounts for tax-advantaged payment
  • Payment arrangements available for larger assessments when needed

Payment timing varies by service – we’ll discuss this during your initial consultation.

Understanding Your Benefits

Before beginning care, we recommend:

  • Contact your insurance company to understand out-of-network mental health benefits
  • Ask about deductibles and annual out-of-network maximums
  • Verify coverage for specific treatments like TMS or Ketamine
  • Request pre-authorization information when helpful

Our administrative team can assist with benefit verification and provide information about the documentation we provide for reimbursement based on your specific plan.
