Everything You Need
Before Your First Visit
Starting with a new psychiatrist can feel overwhelming. We’ve put everything you need to know in one place — forms to fill out, what to bring, what to expect, and how insurance works. No surprises.
Getting Ready
Before Your First Visit
Four simple steps between booking and walking through our doors. We handle most of the heavy lifting — you just need to follow along.
Step 1
Book Your Appointment
Use our online booking system or call (301) 689-1500. Choose in-person at our Rockville office or telehealth from anywhere in Maryland.
Step 2
Complete Intake Forms
You’ll receive an email with secure links to our intake paperwork. Takes about 15–20 minutes. Complete it before your appointment so we can focus on you, not forms.
Step 3
Insurance Verification
Our team verifies your coverage and benefits before your first visit. We’ll contact you if there are any issues — no surprise bills later.
Step 4
Gather Your Documents
Bring (or have ready) a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any relevant medical records from previous providers.
We accept major insurance providers
including Medicare & Medicaid

Coverage & Costs
Insurance & Payment
We work with most major insurance plans in Maryland and verify your coverage before your first visit. No hidden fees, no surprise bills.
Insurance We Accept
Most major Maryland insurance plans are in-network with us, including Medicaid and Medicare. Your copay or coinsurance will be the same for telehealth and in-person visits.
Not sure if your plan is accepted? Call us at (240) 599-1001 or mention it when booking — we’ll verify before your appointment.
Self-Pay Options
If you don’t have insurance or prefer not to use it, we offer self-pay rates for all standard appointments. The initial evaluation is priced differently than follow-up visits.
For advanced treatments — TMS and Spravato are typically covered by insurance with prior authorization. IM Ketamine is a cash-based treatment at $349 per session, though the initial consultation is still covered by insurance.
Self-pay rates are available on request. Call us at (240) 599-1001 or ask during booking for current pricing.
