Navigating the American healthcare system isn't a straightforward task. As a physician seeking care for myself and my family, I've encountered profound disappointment and frustration. In retrospect, I realize that much of this frustration wasn't directed at my fellow doctors but rather at the barriers imposed by insurance companies. As a physician, I've grappled with excessive and unnecessary paperwork that diverts my energy from where I most want to focus: directly on my patients. Choosing to practice as an out-of-network doctor allows me to channel my efforts into your well-being while you invest in your own health and wellness. I take the commitment to your care very seriously. I regret to inform you that I am unable to offer my services to Medicare beneficiaries, even if you choose to pay for them privately. However, my practice at Coral Psychiatry maintains a concierge subscription with Reimbursify. This means that I can provide you with a medical invoice, and Reimbursify will assist you in seeking reimbursement from your insurance company.
