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 was being very vulnerable and I felt like I was being told I was too severe to help. It felt very invalidating and all I wanted was to get updated medications not more treatment.

I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have found Dr Mennella. I would recommend her unreservedly to my closest friends and family. She is straightforward but also kind, caring, respectful and most importantly extremely knowledgable and competent. I have total confidence in her and really appreciate her patient-led approach. In psychiatry it is important to feel involved and comfortable with your care plan. Definitely the best psychiatrist I have ever seen and a superior standard of care.

Be prepared to be treated as a number. Also be prepared for her to throw meds at you that made you feel worse than you did when you started. I felt zero emotion from her.

Great experience. Felt like i was in a actual office. She was actively listening to everything, reassured me and validated my feelings or questions. Was not distracted and was very helpful.

The doctor was very nice however, she could not treat me because Talkiatry has a policy that they will not see patients who have a medical marijuana card. I wish I would have been aware of that before my visit

Dr. Mennella was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she come up with a medication treatment plan that was exactly what I was looking for, she was also very accommodating to the fact that i was dealing with bronchitis when we met. She was very much to the point, open-minded, and helpful. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!

Dr. Mennella is a rare find. She is incredibly easy to speak candidly about sometimes difficult issues and she is brilliant and suggesting and prescribing the right medication to address the problem. I trust her more than I've ever trusted a psychiatrist.
