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. Shari was very professional and compassionate. She asked follow-up questions to get to know particular situations better during our first meeting. It was easy to talk with her and come up with a plan.

Good service and friendly staff
May 21, 2024Kevin I.Verified patientVideo visit
The doctor was great. She was timely, very kind, listened to all of my questions and took a thorough background. It was my first time seeking help for my anxiety and she walked me through all potential medications and their side effects and booked a follow-up appointment with me while we were still on the line to check in at a later date and see how I'm handling the medication.

Dr. Shari was great! on time, listened well, spoke to me almost like a colleague rather than a patient, which was appropriate given my background and i appreciated. talkiatry as a platform was quite frustrating and did not work on my laptop as recommended so i had to take call on my phone - not ideal. also, wasn't clear that talkiatry is only for a certain type of patient and wish i had known that from the outset.

I was very pleased with my appointment and doctor. She was very thorough, thoughtful and kind. Much better than my experience with Brightside. It’s been only 1 visit although I highly recommend.
