FAQ

  • What is self-pay?

    Patients are responsible for bringing payment, in full, at the time of service. Payments are accepted by Cash, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover only. If you have a Health Savings Account card, you are welcome to use that for payment. Please ask for an invoice after each visit for your records or to submit a claim to your insurance provider for some portion of reimbursement.

  • What if I have insurance?

    Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance at this time. If you have insurance, we recommend that you find out what percentage of “mental health” coverage you have, so you know if and how much of a reimbursement you will receive after submitting the invoice to your insurance company.   

  • Can a Physician Assistant prescribe medication?

    Yes! In Texas, Physician Assistants (PA) may issue prescriptions under a written protocol from a supervising physician. PAs have received special training and education in the diagnosing and treatment of diseases. Our PA has specialized in Psychiatry and Medication Management, for the past 10 years.

  • Will I get a prescription on the same day as my initial visit?

    Yes! Prescriptions are typically issued to the patient on the same day as their visit.

  • Are you accepting new patients?

    Yes! We can usually see new patients within a week. Please call us to find the next available appointment.

  • What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

    We require 24-hour notice if you need to cancel or change your appointment. You may communicate with the office with a phone call, email, or text message. Same-day cancellations are subject to a $60 fee.

  • Can I get a refill on a controlled substance without an appointment?

    No, is the simple answer. It is the patient’s responsibility to use and not “abuse” the prescribed medication as instructed by the physician. Our physicians will typically give you enough for a 30-day supply or the matching length of time that they need to see you again.

  • What is the cost to me?

    The initial assessment varies based on your visit. We do require a non-refundable $100 deposit to keep your appointment, this payment will be applied towards the total cost for your initial session.

    If you need to see us for substance or alcohol abuse, you will schedule an appointment with Dr. Dadoush or Dr. Dalby. The initial assessment is about 30 minutes and is a total of $350. Each follow-up visit with our M.D.’s is $175.

    If you need to see us for psychiatry, you will schedule an appointment with our NP, Christina Vasquez. The initial assessment is about 45 minutes and is a total of $350. Each follow-up visit with Scot is $175. To learn more, visit our Services page.
