Margaret Chipendo, PMHNP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
IA
Hi there, I am Margaret. Do you feel passionate about life but sometimes find yourself demotivated? I partner with patients aged 6 to 80 who recognize the importance of brain health by establishing medication plans tailored to their individual needs. I love helping people struggling to find the right medication regimen to manage anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, psychosis, ADHD, personality disorders, and substance use disorders. My primary role is medication management and helping patients understand the importance of medications as part of their treatment plan. I hold a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Maryville University, which equips me to provide specialized care in this field. “I think it's really important to take the stigma away from mental health… My brain and my heart are really important to me. I don't know why I would not seek help to have those things be as healthy as my teeth.” – Kerry Washington, from the Huffington Post

In-network insurances

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.
