House Calls
That's right. I'm available to come directly to you anywhere in the immediate Hampton Roads area (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News). I will do whatever has to be done; medication management; couples therapy; individual therapy with or without medication management; crisis management. The fee is by the hour, including transportation time. Please text me at 757-219-2753 for a price quote on this service.
Crisis & Emergency Services
Having a crisis after normal business hours? Having a mental health emergency on the weekend? I'm available for same-day appointments via the Zoom Platform. Just like above, for therapy, medication management, crisis management, to help if you have a child, teenager, or adult on the verge of hospitalization - just about anything you can think of. Again, this is a special service. Please text me at 757-219-2753 for a price quote.
Cancellation Policy
You must let me know within 48 business hours of your appointment if you aren't going to be at your appointment. Otherwise, a no-show counts just like a regular appointment and is billed just like a regular appointment. That is because I need some time to give your space to someone on the waiting list and coordinate them into the schedule. Since there are 1) multiple text reminders, 2) you can check your appointments and reschedule at your leisure at www.mymedicallocker.com, and 3) we always discuss your next appointment time/date at your previous appointment, this really should never come up. Obviously, if you have an emergency or extenuating circumstances, please text me at 757-219-2753. If you no-show your appointment, you must reschedule and make another one through the portal. I can refill your meds only if you are out and have made another appointment and will give you enough to get to that appointment.

Reimbursement forms: pre-filled emailed to you within 24 business hours, FREE.

If i have to send it to more than 1 place, $50 for each new pharmacy. Please call them to see if they have your medicine in stock before asking me to call it in to avoid extra charged.

At the end of the appointment, I email you a Superbill which is a gridded form that every health insurance requires and accepts. I send it as a PDF file that you print and then mail. The address is at the top of the form. Please check with your health insurance company first to make sure they reimburse for "out-of-network providers." The reimbursement is quite good -- see the light blue area below.
Medicaid products: Optima, I believe, accepts out-of-network claims. Call to confirm with your Medicaid product that they accept "out of network claims." Regardless, I can still see you for the full appointment price.
Medicare: Does not accept out-of-network claims. I can still see you for the regular appointment price.
If you have any questions, this site helps you with some faqs.
Here are actual reimbursement checks from Insurance companies.
Some patients actually MADE money! Check with your carrier to confirm they reimburse out-of-network claims for out-of-network providers like me.
Please click the blue text or the "down" arrows and see for yourself!
I want your trust, and the proof is the best way to reassure you that patients are being paid back!
