Frequently Asked Questions
Integrative psychiatry and medicine is an approach to health that combines conventional treatments and complementary therapies. This strategy can help someone transition from disease management to overall wellness. Our providers practice evidence-based psychiatry, utilizing medication management and multiple therapy modalities. We take a whole-person, integrative approach when treating patients, as we aim to promote psychological well-being and improved cognitive function, not just the absence of symptoms.
WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE PSYCHIATRY?
Providers at District Psychiatry and Wellness are out-of-network, but we have a paid clinic Reimbursify Plan for all of our clients to use. As long as you “opt-in” when completing your intake form and download the Reimbursify smartphone app, draft claims will automatically be created for you after each appointment. Clients then only need to review and approve the claim, and Reimbursify agents will process and negotiate the claim on your behalf. If you insurance offers out-of-network benefits, you will receive a check in the mail from your carrier. District Psychiatry and Wellness does not guarantee reimbursement, but you can call our office to request a benefits check prior to scheduling an appointment.
WILL MY INSURANCE PROVIDER REIMBURSE ME FOR MY VISIT TO DISTRICT PSYCHIATRY AND WELLNESS?
Concierge medicine eliminates the common frustrations that one experiences when going to the doctor. This fee for service model allows for longer appointment times, greater accessibility to your physician, and individualized treatment plans.
District Psychiatry and Wellness offers elevated, personalized care, flexible appointment scheduling, direct messaging to your provider, same day refill requests (for non-controlled substances), and house calls on a case-by-case basis. Our patients do not need to pay a retainer or monthly membership to be seen in our clinic. Our providers have after hours and weekend availability (for non urgent, routine visits), and offer both in-person and telemedicine appointments.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE CONCIERGE MEDICINE?
Our providers give their business phone numbers and emails to clients at the end of their first appointment. Clients can reach out to their provider directly with questions, to request medication refills, or to book a follow-up appointment. Those concerned with securing their privacy can use our HIPAA compliant messaging portal to communicate with their provider. We typically respond to all client correspondence within one business day.
HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH MY PROVIDER?
Concierge medication removes the common headaches and frustrations that make medicine and mental health care unpleasant. At District Psychiatry and Wellness, there are no wait times and appointment scheduling is much more flexible than typical clinics. Most clients are able to be seen within one week of requesting an appointment, and we offer longer session times to afford you the opportunity to ask questions and feel heard. Our clinic offers virtual sessions anywhere in the states in which we maintain licensure as well as in person sessions from our beautiful office in Old Town Alexandria.
