How It Works
Doc headline “How It Works” vs. page name “Services & Investment” — confirmTransparent pricing, no surprises, and care that begins before your first appointment.
A self-pay practice
A deliberate choice.
This is a self-pay, private-pay practice — no insurance is accepted, billed, or involved in any part of your care. That is a deliberate choice. It means appointments are never shaped by coverage limitations, pre-authorizations, or reimbursement rates. Your care is determined entirely by what you need.
Patients are welcome to request a superbill after each appointment to submit independently for potential out-of-network reimbursement through their private insurance provider.
Please note: Superbill reimbursement does not apply to Medicaid or Medicare plans.
Appointment structure
Three kinds of visit
Free Screening Call
10 minutesA brief call to ensure the practice is the right fit before any commitment is made.
ComplimentaryInitial Evaluation
60 minutesA comprehensive review of your history, current challenges, and goals. By the end of this appointment, you will have a clear, personalized treatment plan which may include psychotherapy, medication management, or both. Payment is collected after the appointment.
$500Follow-Up Sessions
30 minutesOngoing appointments for medication management, therapy check-ins, and progress review. Follow-up care does not require Dr. Mirsky to serve as your primary therapist. Coordinated care with an outside therapist is welcome and encouraged.
$280Frequency of visits is determined by your individual needs and treatment plan.
Payment
Simple, and after the visit.
- Major credit cards and HSA/FSA accounts are accepted. No payment is required upfront. Conflict: FAQ says “payment is due at the time of service”
- A credit card is required on file and will be charged following each appointment unless an alternate form of payment is arranged in advance.
- Superbills on request. Reimbursement rates vary by plan and provider; we recommend contacting your insurance’s member services department to verify your out-of-network benefits before your first appointment.
- [Good Faith Estimate notice for self-pay patients.] Legal wording required
