More information on payments and coverage
Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.

love Dr Gira Borad!

? Overall did not seem attentive to things I was informing her of. Rolled her eyes a few times while listening to my response after asking very personal questions around the topics of trauma/abuse and previous medications that failed. I felt extremely judged and overall dissatisfied with the appointment. Wish I didn’t keep the appointment to begin with because I opened up about things I don’t normally discuss during a first appointment, but wanted to be compliant…it got me nowhere.

Dr. Borad was fantastic. Extremely attentive and genuinely wanted to help me with my issues. I would definitely recommend seeing her.
More than 1 year agoJC
She’s really an extraordinary physician & individual. She genuinely does care & that’s how I feel treated. She’s not there to cater to anyone’s demands. She listens very patiently, takes time in making her professional option, and, managed me with exceptional medical care. AND she accepts my insurance!
