More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

So I've been skeptical about using zocdoc for a psychiatric nurse practitioner. But I gave it a shot and met Mr Way .. he is excellent. Top notch provider I would recommend a thousand time. And a provider I hope to handle the rest of my psych care for as long as possible.

The experience with Javier was a very positive one. I have never shied away from help, but Javier made me feel very comfortable right at the start. I would recommend him to anyone as he really listened to me and wanted to get a full picture as to what my situation was.
Verified patient
I signed on for the appointment as I have done many times with the same doctor. It showed that he was online and would be with me shortly and it never happened. Noted on there that they were allowed a 10 minute grace. And I signed off at 20 minutes after when I got no response other than to please go nowhere he would be with me shortly in short the meeting did not happen.

Dr. Javier was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and a great listener. He really took his time to get to know me personally before diving into any diagnoses or assumptions.
