-Fees
Dr. Kan is an out-of-network provider with all insurance companies. Payment in full is required at each appointment. Our office is happy to assist you with getting reimbursement from your insurer for any out-of-network benefits you have. If your insurer allows electronic claims, our office will submit the claim on your behalf. If your insurer does not allow electronic claims for patient reimbursement, then we will provide you with the documentation you need to submit the claim yourself.
When you receive care outside of your insurer’s preferred network, it does not mean you have to bear 100% of the cost of your treatment. See below for an explanation of how out-of-network benefits work.
Payment Methods
Dr. Kan accepts cash, checks, and major credit cards. Dr. Kan does not accept direct insurance reimbursement for medical services. Dr. Kan requires a credit card number on file prior to scheduling any appointments.
Fees are indicated below. Please note that due to the complicated nature of medical billing and coding, not all charges can be anticipated or described precisely in advance of the appointment. The following figures are reliable estimates.

Understanding Out-of-Network Benefits
As of January 1, 2015, this practice, like many psychiatric practices, will be “out-of-network” for all insurance companies. This does not mean that you will bear 100% of the cost of your appointments. It simply means that your visits will be covered by your insurance company at a different rate, usually slightly lower than the in-network rate. It also means that Dr. Kan will collect the full cost of the appointment up front, and will direct your insurer to send reimbursement to you.
Different insurers handle out-of-network benefits differently. We encourage you to contact your insurer to verify your out-of-network benefits. Questions to ask:

- What are my out-of-network benefits?
- What percentage of my out-of-network visits are covered after I meet my deductible?
- What is the allowed rate for a 99214 (medication) visit? For a 90837 (therapy) visit? For the dual codes of 99213 plus 90836 (medication plus therapy)?
- Do my out-of-network visits have a different deductible than my in-network visits?
