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.

Dr. Tannu was very personable, knowledgeable and compassionate.
He listened to me and of course, I had first appointment jitters, but he's very professional and kind.

Starting even before our visit, Dr. Tannu was in communication with me and reviewing my past medical history. The fact that he took the time to try to understand me and my medical needs, even before we met, is testimony to the deep level of regard Dr. Tannu has for his patients.
I found Dr. Tannu to be warm, personable, and easy to talk to. He showed a genuine interest in getting to know me, not only as a patient but also as a person.
Although my visit was for medication management, it was clear that he wasn't some quack psychiatrist that is going to hand out pills like it's Halloween candy. We spent a good amount of time discussing the pros/cons of different medications and why one may be better for my needs. He was also very thorough in asking about my personal/familial medical histories, ensuring these drugs are appropriate and safe for me to be taking.
I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Tannu and have no reservations about recommending him to anyone seeking care.
