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.

Listened, calm manner, tone was very good
April 17, 2023Quiana S.Verified patientVideo visit
The 10 minute virtual visits with Dr. Ferrell isn't worth the copay. She's always 10 min late to the appt and then we have a 10 min video call for something that can be done via email. She doesn't really provide therapy but only provides med management, but that can be done by your primary care doc.

Joyln was wonderful. She listened, empathized, and assisted me in starting to get the help I needed. I’d recommend her to anyone who is a little scared to start this process!
March 2, 2023Laura S.Verified patientVideo visit
I would highly recommend Dr. Ferrell. She provided my 18 year old son with special needs with excellent feedback to support his medication management in order to support his anxiety and fears. She made him comfortable and he felt like she addressed his medical and therapeutic concerns.

My appointment felt very dismissive and I felt like just another patient. They did not seem very passionate either, and I felt very unheard and dismissed by the doctor.
