Insurance
Dr. Carolyn Nguyen is considered an “out-of-network” physician for PPO insurance plans. She can provide you with a "superbill" statement that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement of a portion of your fee (varies from 20% to 90% reimbursement). Please contact your insurance company for details on whether they reimburse policy holders for out-of-pocket payment for the following psychiatric services codes rendered by noncontracted providers: 90801 (initial psychiatric consultation); 90862 (20-25 minute follow-up medication visit); 90807 (45-50 minute medication and therapy visit).

Dr. Carolyn Nguyen wants to provide high-quality services that are tailored to your individual circumstances and personal needs, rather than based on an insurance company's demands and restrictions upon the time and frequency she spends on your care. Elimination of paperwork and hours on the phone with insurance companies allows her to spend more quality time with you.
