Insurance Questions
Many of our patients utilize Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), or their private insurance to cover a portion or sometimes all of the cost of treatment. We are happy to discuss these options in detail. We also offer Veteran and Military Discounts!
Unlike many insurance-based practices, Sonoran Psychiatric Care offers a distinctly different approach. We prioritize faster access to care, eliminating the long wait times often associated with insurance-based providers. Our flexible scheduling allows for virtual visits, catering to your convenience and comfort. With a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to providing personalized, expert care, you'll receive the undivided attention you deserve. Our commitment to unhurried appointments means initial consultations are a full hour, and follow-ups are 30 minutes, allowing for a deep understanding of your needs and a truly tailored treatment plan. This stands in stark contrast to the rushed 10 or 20-minute appointments common in many insurance-based practices. Experience the difference at Sonoran Psychiatric Care, where your well-being is our top priority.
