    Policies

    Insurance and Billing

    Dr. Nissirios does not contract with any government or private insurance, or any ACA marketplace plans. If you plan to utilize your insurance out of network benefits, you may do so at your discretion and submit claims for reimbursement by your insurance company. If you plan on submitting claims to your insurance for reimbursement, you are responsible for understanding your plan, benefits, and rates of reimbursement.
    Payment is due at the time of scheduling your appointment. This ensures that all of your scheduled time is used efficiently, for your benefit in treatment, rather than for billing or other non-clinical matters. You will be asked to keep a credit card on file in the patient portal, which is a secure payment system. We do not store your payment information.

    Diagnostics

    Various diagnostics studies, laboratory studies, neuropsychological testing, and imaging may be recommended or required for the best possible care. Completion of these studies may be required prior to initializing or continuing medication. Please be aware that costs of these diagnostic studies are not included in your visit charges. Your physician will work with you to ensure that all requested diagnostics are necessary for and beneficial to your care, in order to avoid unnecessary costs.
    If you do have insurance, these benefits typically include medication, laboratory, and diagnostic studies and your insurance should cover the costs of prescriptions, labs, or imaging that may be required. Please check your benefits first prior.

    Forensic Affairs

    If your physician is subpoenaed to appear as a fact or expert witness involving your care, you will be assessed a separate set of fees for court appearances. Please note that fees related to court cases, preparation of reports or documents, preparation for deposition, travel, court time etc. are billed at a different hourly rate, typically higher than basic services. For more detailed information, please discuss this with your physician ahead of any potential forensic involvement.

    Medical records, letters, forms

    Medical records are the property of Mental Health & Wellness MD LLC. You have rights to your records as they pertain to your treatment. For your convenience, when requested, records will be released to a requesting treating provider free of charge in case of transfer or termination of care. This is to assist you in ensuring an efficient transfer of care and to minimize any unnecessary interruptions of your treatment. You must fill out consent forms for the release of HIPPA protected information. Records requested for the patient’s own use carry a charge and may instead be provided in the form of a treatment summary, at the discretion of the physician.
    Insurance does not typically cover incidental fees for disclosure of records for personal use. Please allow two weeks for processing of records/letters/forms requests.

    Disability forms

    In order to provide the best and most impartial care to our patients, we cannot provide disability evaluations. Disability evaluations are typically performed by Independent Medical Examiners (IME). Disability paperwork will only be completed for patients who have been in treatment for at least 6 months, or who have been seen for a minimum of 6 times. Disability forms are subject to prorated hourly fees as stipulated in our policies, and completion of forms in no way guarantees your claim will be approved by your insurance carrier.
