Frequently Asked Questions
About Medication Management
What are the prices for services?
An initial, 90-minute psychiatric evaluation is $250. Follow-up appointments are $125–$200, depending on the length of the session. Learn more about payment here.
What insurance do you take?
We accept only Cigna and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. We do not work with other insurance providers. Learn more about insurance here.
How much will my insurance cover?
Coverage depends on your individual insurance plan. As a courtesy, we’ll verify benefits and send you a cost estimate prior to your appointment.
What symptoms can you treat?
We mainly treat ADHD, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. We don’t treat more severe disorders, such as psychosis and schizophrenia, that require more specialized care. If you have a non-severe mood disorder that you don’t see listed here, feel free to contact us for a brief assessment to see if we’re a good fit.
How long is the wait time for an appointment?
We’re typically able to see new clients within one to two weeks. To make an appointment, contact us.
What does starting medication entail?
Your first appointment will be an in-person, 90-minute session. You’ll discuss your current concerns, past mental health experiences, and previous diagnoses (if there are any) to determine if we’re a good fit for your needs. From there, we’ll create a personalized medication management plan. You can learn more about our process here.
What if I don’t complete my forms before my appointment?
Intake forms are necessary for us to review and need to be submitted 48 business hours prior to your scheduled appointment. If they’re not completed in time, we’ll need to cancel your appointment and reschedule it for another time.
Why do I need to have my credit card information on file?
We require credit card information on file to ensure financial responsibility for any and all fees associated with being a client, including late cancellation and rescheduling fees. If you schedule a virtual appointment, we’ll process the card on file. If your appointment is in person, a physical card is required. We will always contact you (through the client portal, by phone, or by email) before charging your card.
What if the pharmacy doesn’t refill my prescription?
If your prescription has already been sent in, call the pharmacy to have them check their systems again. Otherwise, please contact our admin team so we can coordinate with your prescriber.
How can I contact my prescriber?
We do not give out team members’ personal information. If you need help, please call or email our admin team.
I’m traveling. Can I keep my appointment?
Unfortunately not; we’re only able to see clients in Maryland. If you will be out of state, please reschedule your appointment.
How often do I need to come in for follow-ups? How long are follow-up appointments?
Most clients come in for regular follow-ups for 1–3 months following their initial evaluation, depending on how their treatment plan is going. If you’re starting new meds, follow-ups may take place biweekly. Follow-up sessions normally take 30 minutes, but can take 15–45 minutes.
How can I get in touch with you between appointments?
Please call us or message us via the client portal.
Can you coordinate with my therapist?
Yes, we can collaborate with your therapist at your request. However, coordination of care is not covered by insurance. Fees for this service are as follows:
Up to 15 minutes: $25
15–30 minutes: $50
30–45 minutes: $75
45–60 minutes: $100
You’ll also need to complete a release of information form.
Do I need to be at my child’s appointment?
If a child is under 16, a parent or legal guardian must be present for every session.
