Why doesn't SLS Psychiatry take insurance?

Insurance contracts impose constraints on visit length, treatment choices, and required documentation. Operating cash-only lets us spend more time with each patient and keep clinical decisions between you and your psychiatrist.

Can I still get reimbursed by my insurance?

If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, often yes. We provide an itemized superbill after each visit. Reimbursement amounts vary by plan — many patients see 50–80% reimbursed after deductibles.

What should I ask my insurance company?

Ask: 'What are my out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits?', 'What is my out-of-network deductible and have I met it?', and what they reimburse for CPT codes 90792, 99205, 99214, and 99213.

Is the cancellation fee real?

Yes — there is a $75 cancellation fee for visits canceled with less than the agreed notice. Time set aside for you cannot always be rebooked on short notice.
