FAQ
Get Informed
ARE YOUR SERVICES COVERED BY MY INSURANCE?
The easiest and safest answer from our vantage point is: "maybe, but probably not." Insurance benefits in mental healthcare don't tend to fully cover the thorough and comprehensive type of assessments that Megalithic Psychology, Inc. performs. Insurance benefits commonly cover the 'minimum necessary' to confirm a diagnosis. We provide an invoice ("super bill") with all the necessary information for you to submit for reimbursement.
We are often asked what "codes" we use on our invoices--and recommend you instead ask your insurance company what codes they intend to cover (and what their reimbursement rate is, for how many hours, etc.) under your benefits package. Typical codes include but are not limited to: 90791a, 96132, 19133, 96136, 19137.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT, AND WHAT ARE YOUR WAIT TIMES AND REPORT TURN AROUND TIMES?
Megalithic Psychology, Inc. specifically prides itself on being able to provide timelines far better than the industry standard. While many practices are comfortable with timelines using words like "months"--we can complete your assessment in >1 month. We work tirelessly during evenings and weekends to ensure we live up to our reputation of delivering results sooner than you would expect them.
WHAT IS YOUR NEW PATIENT PROCEDURE?
We offer a free 5 (five) minute consultation to fully explain the logistics of the proposed assessment after you have reviewed the video/website. This conversation is intended to answer questions you may have about our protocols. We believe in both fee/pricing transparency, as well as transparency with regards to the exact protocol we would use to conduct your assessment.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR ETHICS IN ASSESSMENT?
Megalithic Psychology Inc. does not run on a business model that incentivizes us to diagnose all patients with ADHD just so that we can retain them as patients for an indefinite timeline. Instead, our priority is performing an objective evaluation, thoughtful interpretation of all data, coming to a diagnostic impression, and developing patient-centered feedback.
ARE YOU EQUIPPED TO SERVE DIVERSE POPULATIONS?
Megalithic Psychology, Inc. serves a wide range of diverse clientele, and specifically hires psychologists who are well equipped with culturally-sensitive patient-centered training. We treat each case sensitively, as we know you are entrusting us with your personal history, and assessment creates a unique experience for us to collaborate with you to determine the best course of action for your well being. We realize that many of our clients are visiting us for their first ever mental healthcare interaction and aim to de-stigmatize the field of psychology by giving your and your family a premiere experience.
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?
After your initial consultation, we will give you time to "marinate" on the possibility of working with us. We like patients to have "buy in" (meaning, you want to work with us, rather than us convincing you to work with us). As soon as you are ready, you will let us know, and we will seize the opportunity to provide you with an excellent experience.
