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.

I hate to leave a poor review as I didn't actually get to have my appointment and I can't say it was the doctors fault. I booked an appointment and received my confirmation. 30min before my virtual appointment i called the number in the profile because i did not receive a link to my appointment like my confirmation said i would. They did not have a record of my appointment even though i had a confirmation. They said it was booked directly through the doctors office. This issue would have been fixed however there is no phone number to contact the doctor which left me without an appointment.

Very cordial manner, asks great questions and keeps close track of the conversation. Excellent at pointing out patterns that I myself didn't even notice. Has a sense of humor that helped put me at ease. Clearly explained his thoughts and conclusions. Ended the session with practical steps to take and a solid, actionable treatment plan going forward. EXACTLY what I was hoping for!

good experience overall

Friendly, attentive, and reassuring! Really listened to all of my concerns and pinpointed what the best steps would be to take instead of rushing in. Asked me questions about my lifestyle and past experiences to take into consideration before immediately recommending anything. Explained everything very well, and easy to talk to. Seems like he really cares! As someone who was hesitant on seeing a psychiatrist before, I'm sure happy I did.

Verified patientVideo visit
It’s been a very long time since I can say I have been happy with the services I received via Zocdoc. I’ve been using Zocdoc since it emerged over the last couple of years. I found it hard to find a therapist. Either my insurance didn’t cover, or I tried via teledoc, and my appointments would be canceled. Finding talkiatry/Zocdoc to make the appointment was amazing! Setting up and finding a doctor and an appointment immediately was easy! Dr. Lee, just wow! I’m a person that is big on connection and energy, and right away, I knew Dr. Lee was going to work. He listened, attentive to what I had to say and how I felt, and most importantly, he made me feel validated and reassured what I was feeling was my feelings, and it was okay. The first appointment was the initial, but I felt like I had been working with him for a while. I look forward to my sessions and him helping me in my get back journey. I wish I’d done this way before! Take the first step, I’d recommend! :)
