Question 2

Does Dr. Harris take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Harris is not a participating provider with any insurance plans, including Medicare.

However, many plans have out of network benefits that allow you to submit a claim and get a portion of the cost reimbursed. We will provide you with a receipt that has all the information needed to submit to your insurance company to obtain  reimbursement if you have this benefit.

Each insurance company is different: It is the patient’s responsibility to know their insurance benefits, submit the claims and pursue reimbursement.

I need to be seen on the evening or weekend, what hours does Dr. Harris work?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Harris works Tuesday-Friday with evening hours on Thursday and some Saturday mornings.

Question 5

I’d like to meet with Dr. Harris, what are the next steps?

Accepted Answer

If you’d like to meet with Dr. Harris, the next step is to call or email to speak with Kathryn, the Practice Manager, to set up an appointment. She will answer any remaining questions you might have and send you paperwork to fill out before the appointment.

The first appointment is an evaluation intended to allow for you and Dr. Harris to get to know one another and determine if it seems like a good fit.  There may be times when Dr. Harris feels a patient is better served by another clinician (for instance in the case of opiod dependence which Dr. Harris does not treat), or you might decide Dr. Harris is not the right person for you.

At the end of the initial session, Dr. Harris will give a treatment recommendation and you can decide if you would like to pursue treatment further.
