Is your MindfulMD psychiatrist board-certified?

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.

Do you offer telemedicine appointments?

I offer both in-person and telemedicine (video) options. Patients must be present in either Florida or Massachusetts at the time of their virtual visit.

Where is the in-person office located?

Our Tampa office location is 13911 Carrollwood Village Run, Tampa, FL 33618

How to check if you have out-of-network benefits with your insurance provider?

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.

If you are interested, MindfulMD will provide you with a Superbill (a receipt of the services you received) to give to your insurance company. You still must pay your entire session fee at the time of service, but depending on your specific insurance plan, your insurance company may mail you a check to reimburse a portion of the cost after you submit your Superbill.

What to do in the case of an emergency or crisis?

If you think you have a medical or psychiatric emergency, please go to the nearest emergency room, or call 911 immediately. Do not rely on electronic communications or communication through this website.  If you’re concerned about yourself or someone else, the 988 Lifeline is available to call or text at 988 or chat online at 988lifeline.org/chat.
