Insurance Policy

Kiddo Psychiatry is a private pay clinic and does not accept insurance. However, many insurance providers offer reimbursement for out-of-network services.

We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify:
✔️ Coverage for psychiatric services
✔️ Out-of-network benefits
✔️ Deductibles and copay requirements
✔️ Reimbursement process and required documentation

A superbill can be provided upon request to assist with potential reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan.

Due to Medicaid regulations, we are unable to accept Medicaid patients, even on a self-pay basis. Medicaid does not permit private pay arrangements for services outside their network.

📅 48 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling
❌ Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice may incur a late cancellation fee
