Out Of Network Billing & Deductible Information:
Please note that while South Shore Psychiatry accepts NYSHIP/Beacon insurance, we bill it as an out-of-network provider. This means that the patient is responsible for any out-of-pocket costs if they have not reached their out-of-network deductible. The out-of-network costs are similar to our private pay rates which are ($350 initial appointment / $185 for the follow-up) until the patient has met their out-of-network deductible. It is the patients responsibility to call their insurance company to see if they have met their out-of-network deductible and if once met, if there are any additional costs associated with their coverage. It usually takes 2-3 visits for you to meet your out-of-network deductible for the whole year.
