Payment is due at the time of service.
For clients who prefer to pay cash or Zelle, my payment fee is
$185 per 60 minutes (Cash discount of $170)
$231 per 75 minutes (Cash discount of $213)
$278 per 90 minutes (Cash discount of $255)
For new patients - please arrive on time, during the initial visit there is a 15 - 30 minutes Evaluation Intake, as well as, three standard healthcare mandatory Consent to Arbitration forms to be signed.
I am an Out of Network (preferred provider organization PPO) for patients with United Heathcare, Cigna, Aetna, I will send an Out-of-Network claim in to your insurance company for the services rendered during the initial 75 minute visit.
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield pays you, the subscriber, directly, there are happily exceptions to this such as Google and some attorneys offices, which pay the Out of Network provider directly.
Aetna takes about two weeks to process, Cigna three weeks, United and Anthem BCBS of NY three to four weeks to process. Oxford does not cover acupuncture for Out of Network providers (unless you have an unusually expensive policy with Oxford), since the higher you pay into your Group policy, the more the Group pays out.
I welcome more McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, Google, Deutsche Bank, Amazon, Price Waterhouse Cooper, Blackstone, META, Blackrock, JP Morgan Chase, Deloitte, PayPal employees to my Chelsea home-office practice, as they have excellent corporate Group policies. I also welcome auto accident injury cases.
Medicare Advantage PPO plan may cover acupuncture; however, it is a long process to see if they will. PPO means Preferred Provider Organization policy for out of network providers only. In other words, choose a Medicare Advantage PPO plan that covers out of network providers of acupuncture.
