Question 4

IF I HAVE MEDICARE OR MEDICAID, CAN I BE REIMBURSED?"

Accepted Answer

Our clinic has formally opted-out of government managed care programs including Medicare and Medicaid.  This means that as a clinic, we will establish a private contract with our patients under Medicare/Medicaid in agreement that services provided by our practitioner are not covered by Medicare and no payment can be made to the physician or practitioner or to beneficiaries.  As a patient, you will be charged an agreed fee per clinic rules and you are responsible for full payment in cash to the clinic.  This also means that reimbursement forms cannot be filed to Medicare by patient and the patient will not be able to receive any reimbursement.  Patients under managed care will have to agree to signing a contract specifying the above terms prior to being seen by our psychiatrist.
