Practice Policies & Informed Consent
Understand how we work our billing, scheduling, privacy, and your rights as a client.
1. Practice Model & Billing
CalmCore Psychiatry mostly offer self-pay practice offering transparent, cash-based care. We provide superbills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement for full or partial payment depending on your insurance. Our current rates include:
• Telepsychiatry (Initial – 1 hr): $380
• Follow-Up (20-30 min): $215
• In-Home Concierge Visit (90 min): $999
• Subscription Plan: $199/month (13 Follow up visits included)
• Optional10‑minute Intro Call: Free of charge for new patients only
All fees are collected through PracticeQ, our secure patient billing portal.
2. Additional Services & Administrative Fees
Any request requiring additional time such as letters, forms, school/work notes, phone or email coordination, or other documentation will incur an additional fees. This ensures our administrative efforts are fair and sustainable.
3. Sliding Scale
CalmCore is committed to mental wellness for all. If your income makes standard fees a barrier, please request a sliding scale option during scheduling. We’ll strive to accommodate based on need and capacity.
4. Appointment Policy
Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before the appointment to avoid full-charge fees(same applies to yearly subscribers).
Same-day cancellations or no-shows will require full payment.
The 10-minute consultation is exempt from cancellation fees.
5. Trainee Involvement
Occasionally, a psychiatry student or resident may join appointments for training purposes. Patients will always be fully informed and may opt out at any time no explanation needed.
6. Virtual vs. In-Person Visits
All non-concierge sessions will be conducted via secure telepsychiatry.
In-person visits are only available through our Concierge Service and when agreed upon ahead of time.
7. Privacy & Confidentiality
CalmCore is fully HIPAA-compliant. Your privacy and personal health information are protected to the highest standards.
8. Informed Consent & Treatment
You have the right to participate in treatment decisions. We may discuss options beyond standard western medicine; however, the choice of treatment always remains with you.
By proceeding with CalmCore Psychiatry services, you acknowledge and agree to these policies.
