Fees & How We Work
Fees & How Our Practice Works
Southeastern Executive Health is a private-pay practice, out-of-network with all insurance plans and not enrolled with Medicare. Your exact fees are set out in writing in your patient agreement, which you review before your first appointment. No surprises. Most visits are HSA- and FSA-eligible, and a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement is available on request.
Why private-pay
Why patients choose private-pay psychiatry
Working outside insurance means your care is decided by you and your clinician, not by what a plan will authorize. Visits are long enough to do the work properly, scheduling is direct, and nothing about your treatment is shaped by a billing code. It's the model often called concierge psychiatry: a practice deliberately kept small, so the people we see get genuine attention.
Just as important, we are not built to keep you here. Our aim is meaningful improvement, not indefinite treatment. With careful evaluation, the right medication, and steady follow-up, we coordinate ongoing care back to your primary care physician when the time is right. If longer-term care with us is what you want, you are welcome to stay. Either way, the treatment plan serves you, not the practice.
The Idea
Your care is decided by you and your clinician, not by what a plan will authorize.

Fees are provided in writing with your patient agreement before your first appointment.
Payment
Payment is due at the end of each visit. We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards, processed securely through Helcim, our PCI-compliant payment processor. Secure video visits are billed the same as in-person visits.
Scope of care
Our focus is ongoing psychiatric treatment. We do not provide forensic, disability, or court-ordered evaluations.
Reimbursement
Insurance, superbills and HSA/FSA
Although we don't bill insurance, many patients receive partial reimbursement through their plan's out-of-network benefits. Just ask the office and we will provide a superbill (an itemized receipt you submit to your insurer). We don't issue one automatically after each appointment, so request it whenever you need it. Visits are also typically eligible for HSA and FSA funds. A good-faith estimate under the No Surprises Act is available on request.
Common Questions
Questions about fees and insurance
How do payments work?
Payment is due at the end of each visit. We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. Your exact fees are provided in writing in your patient agreement before your first appointment.
Do you take insurance?
No. We're out-of-network with all insurance plans and not enrolled with Medicare, so you pay the practice directly. If your plan offers out-of-network mental health benefits, a superbill is available on request and can be submitted for possible reimbursement. Visits are typically HSA/FSA-eligible, and your exact fees are provided in writing before your first appointment.
What does private-pay (out-of-network) psychiatry mean?
It means we don't bill insurance directly. Working with insurers requires a large administrative staff dedicated to each company's billing rules, prior authorizations, and coverage policies, and that overhead pulls time and attention away from patient care. By operating outside of insurance, we keep our focus on you rather than on paperwork. You pay for your visits per your patient agreement, and if your plan offers out-of-network mental health benefits, a superbill is available on request that you can submit for possible reimbursement.
