Fees
- Initial Evaluation: $500/hr | Starts at a minimum of 90 minutes and can increase depending on the complexity of the evaluation (i.e. assessing labs, imaging, outside reports, conferring or consulting with other specialists, gathering information from friends, family members, therapists, other clinicians)
- Med Management/ Psychotherapy (30 minutes) | $285
- Med Management/ Psychotherapy (45 minutes) | $425
- Med Management/ Psychotherapy (60 minutes) | $500
- Additional Charges for Appointment Overrun (over 60 minutes) | Prorated fraction of the $500 therapeutic hourly fee
Fees are non-negotiable
Evaluations for new patients typically require several hours over one or more sessions.
Dr. Mendelsohn charges $500 for a 50 minute session and telephone consults are billed at the prorated session rate. Telephone fees do not apply to medication management issues. Routine medication issues or scheduling matters, such as making appointments, or raising questions regarding side effects do not typically incur fees, unless they are made emergently.
Insurance
Please note that Dr. Mendelsohn doesn’t participate with managed care or insurance companies, as they restrict my clinical care. If you decide to receive care from me, you can submit the receipts from your visits for reimbursement to your insurance company.
The receipts will have all the necessary information. Your insurance company may reimburse you a percentage of your payments based on an “Out of Network Provider” visit. Please check with your individual insurance provider.
Some insurance companies will reimburse you at a higher rate or the full rate (as an ‘in Network Provider’) if you are unable to find someone on their panel who can see you in a reasonable amount of time.
