NEW PATIENT CONTACT INFORMATION

If you have a life threatening emergency please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Some other possible sources of care are listed below.

We understand that some patients would like to get in quickly and want to notify you as soon as possible whether we will be able to assist you.

We will review this submission within the next three days.

If you do not receive an email, voicemail or text within three days then, after review of submission, it has been determined that we are unable to assist you at this time. You may resubmit this form in three months to see if we have greater availability or new resources to help.

YOU ARE STILL NOT CONSIDERED AN ACTIVE PATIENT OF THIS OFFICE UNTIL AFTER YOUR FIRST FACE-TO- FACE VISIT WITH DOCTOR GRACE WHEN BOTH OF YOU AGREE TO ENTER INTO A DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP.

We are IN-NETWORK with the following insurances and able to verify benefits the fastest.

1. Medicare
2. Aetna Insurance- [Majority of Policies IN-Network Including -Strategic Resource Company- [ Aetna Specialty Group Insurance]
3. Cigna Insurance
4. Cigna Great West
5. Tri Care Humana Military Policies
6. ChampVa-
7. GEHA

We are out-of-network with all other insurances and the verification of benefits can take considerable time, up to a month depending on the policy and current staff availability.

In addition, the following plans generally have limited out-of-network benefits and end up being largely self-pay. Keep in mind that psychiatric care tends to be very expensive (often several thousand dollars over the first months of treatment). It is usually much more cost-effective to see a provider within your insurance.
