Fees and Services
At Bayside Psychiatry we feel that transparency is one of the most important important things we can offer to our patients.
‘In Network’ Insurance
Insurance companies typically cover all or most of the charges when you see an in network provider, though you may be responsible for a copay or percentage of the visit depending on your specific plan.
Bayside Psychiatry and Dr. D’Amelio are currently IN Network only with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and United Healthcare. Dr. D’Amelio is considered out of network for all other insurance companies.
‘Out of Network’ Insurance
The process of seeing an out of network provider can be a bit more complicated, but doesn’t have to be difficult or unaffordable.
When you see Dr. D’Amelio as an out of network provider, you cover the costs of the appointment at the time of service. You will receive a special invoice called a “superbill” which you can then use to request reimbursement from your insurance carrier. Insurance companies each vary in how much they will reimburse for out of network care, with some reimbursing a fixed value and others reimburse a percentage of the charges.
If you are considering seeing Dr. D’Amelio as an out of network provider, feel free to contact the clinic for an up to date fee schedule and brief discussion of how to ask your insurance company for an estimate of what they will reimburse.
