No, we are not currently in-network with any insurance plans. However, some insurance plans provide out-of-network reimbursement for your visits. See below for tips on how to talk to your insurance company to check if you have out-of-network benefits.

• Access to Customized Treatment Options: Out-of-network psychiatrists may be able to offer a wider range of treatment options beyond what is typically covered by insurance. Insurance plans can sometimes deny coverage for some mental health treatments, even when you and your doctor have determined that the treatment is beneficial.

• Reduced Wait Times and More Flexible Scheduling: in-network psychiatrists can sometimes have long wait times for appointments. Opting for an out-of-network psychiatrist may provide faster access to care, ensuring you receive timely treatment and more flexible scheduling options.

• More Time Dedicated to Your Care: Out-of-network psychiatrists can often provide longer and more frequent sessions than what insurance plans may cover, allowing more time for in-depth discussions and comprehensive treatment. They minimize time spent on insurance-related tasks and instead focus on delivering thoughtful and personalized care. This also means your psychiatrist can be more accessible and responsive to any questions or concerns that may arise during your treatment.

• Enhanced Privacy and Confidentiality: By choosing an out-of-network psychiatrist, you may have added privacy and confidentiality since your medical information is not directly shared with insurance companies or third-party payers.

Yes, Dr. Allison Jackson is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). Why is it important to find a psychiatrist who is ABPN board-certified? Patients can be assured that an ABPN board-certified psychiatrist has specialized skills and knowledge to appropriately diagnose and treat problems ranging from emergencies to the long-term medical management of psychiatric disorders. The rigorous process of board certification ensures that your psychiatrist is well-equipped with the latest diagnostic and treatment modalities to properly diagnose and manage mental health disorders.

People see a psychiatrist for many reasons. Some struggle with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD. Some people are experiencing insomnia, panic attacks, or social anxiety. While some are seeking help managing stress, burnout, life transitions, relationships issues, or mental health struggles related to their physical health. Sometimes people who are working with a therapist who recommended that medication might be a good addition to their treatment plan. Most people who see a psychiatrist are looking for professional guidance to better understand their emotions, improve their mental well-being, and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

With MindfulMD Psychiatry, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our Harvard-trained psychiatrist takes the time to listen, understand, and collaborate with patients to develop personalized treatment plans. Whether through therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, we focus on empowering individuals to take control of their mental health. With a warm and supportive approach, we help patients navigate challenges, build resilience, and work toward lasting well-being.

No, just because you are seeing a psychiatrist does not mean you have to take a medication. We discuss treatment plans with our patients that can include therapy (with Dr. Jackson or with other local therapists who we collaborate with, depending on your therapy needs), healthy lifestyle changes, natural methods to help improve your symptoms, testing for some medical conditions that may contribute to your psychiatric health by ordering labs or working with your primary care doctor, and/or discussion of the different medication options. By having a board certified physician who has their speciality training in psychiatry - we are able to provide you with well-rounded treatment plan options for your unique symptoms.

This is a very common question that we receive. Psychiatrists and psychologists are both professionals who specialize in the field of mental health. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who has completed medical school and then additional four years of psychiatry residency training. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and some psychiatrists provide therapy. A psychologist, on the other hand, has a doctoral degree in psychology (PhD or PsyD) and specializes in therapy, counseling, and psychological testing but cannot prescribe medication in most states.

Psychiatrists and psychologists often collaborate to support patients' mental health. For example, a psychiatrist may manage a patient’s medications, then refer the patient to a psychologist for specialized therapy and support.

Yes, we provide expert guidance to help patients safely taper off medications with a personalized, closely monitored plan. There are various reasons why a medication taper may be needed. Many patients have found it challenging to come off of psychiatric medications when they are ready. At MindfulMD Psychiatry, we help patients who are ready to come off medications, using evidence based methods that are tailored to meet your unique needs.

This information is usually provided in your insurance plan’s summary of benefits, often provided in your initial insurance information packet or on your insurance company website. I recommend calling your insurance company to verify if you have out-of-network benefits. The insurance customer service number is often on the back of your insurance card, and occasionally there is a separate phone number for mental health or behavioral health benefits. Here is link to a guide to checking your out-of-network benefits. You can also use websites like Reimbursify to help you with filing out-of-network claims and talking to your insurance.

If you are interested, MindfulMD will provide you with a Superbill (a receipt of the services you received) to give to your insurance company.

Then depending on your specific insurance plan, your insurance company may mail you a check to reimburse a portion of the cost of your visit after you submit your Superbill.
