Fees & Process
Clear fees and a thoughtful process.
Rahangdale Psychiatry PLLC is a self-pay, telehealth-based psychiatry practice. The practice does not currently accept insurance or participate in insurance panels.
This model allows visits to be longer, more thoughtful, and less constrained by insurance requirements. Patients are responsible for payment at the time of service. Superbills may be provided upon request for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

ADHD Evaluation
What the ADHD package includes.
The Comprehensive Adult ADHD Evaluation Package is designed for patients seeking a careful psychiatric evaluation for possible ADHD. This is not neuropsychological testing and does not include a formal neuropsychological testing report.
Rather, it is a psychiatric diagnostic evaluation and treatment-planning process. The package may include pre-visit rating scales, a detailed clinical interview, review of developmental and academic history, assessment of current impairment, screening for overlapping conditions, review of relevant prior records when available, and a feedback/treatment-planning visit.
When possible, collateral information from someone who knows the patient well, such as a spouse or partner, parent, roommate, employer, or other trusted source, can help make the evaluation more thorough. Collateral is requested only with the patient's permission and is used to better understand symptoms and functioning across settings.
Process
What to expect.
Consultation Request
Prospective patients may request a consultation through the secure patient portal. The consultation request helps determine whether the practice is likely to be a good fit for the patient's needs.
Submitting a request does not establish a physician-patient relationship. A physician-patient relationship begins only after a patient has been accepted into the practice, completed required intake paperwork, and attended an initial evaluation.
Before the First Visit
Before the initial appointment, patients will be asked to complete intake forms, consent documents, rating scales, and practice policies through the secure patient portal.
Patients may also be asked to provide prior psychiatric records, medication history, testing reports, discharge summaries, school records, or other relevant documents when available.
Payment
Patients are required to keep a valid credit or debit card on file before scheduling. Payment is due at or before the time of service and may be charged to the card on file according to the practice's payment policy.
A Good Faith Estimate of expected charges will be provided as required for self-pay patients.
Cancellations and Missed Appointments
Appointment times are reserved specifically for each patient. Appointments canceled or rescheduled with at least 48 business hours' notice will not incur a cancellation fee.
Appointments canceled with less than 48 business hours' notice, or missed without notice, may be charged a late cancellation or no-show fee. For initial evaluations, comprehensive ADHD evaluations, and follow-up visits, this fee may be up to the full cost of the scheduled appointment.
Late cancellation and no-show fees are not billable to insurance.
Insurance and Superbills
Rahangdale Psychiatry PLLC does not accept insurance and is considered out-of-network with all insurance plans. Payment is due directly from the patient.
Upon request, the practice may provide a superbill that patients can submit to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on the patient's insurance plan, deductible, out-of-network benefits, and claim rules.
Superbills include diagnosis and procedure codes required by insurance companies. If you have out-of-network benefits, the practice is happy to help orient you to the superbill process as much as possible, while reimbursement decisions remain between you and your insurance plan.
Telehealth
Appointments are conducted by secure video for patients who are physically located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit.
Patients must be in a private, safe location and provide their current location at the start of each appointment.
Emergencies
Rahangdale Psychiatry PLLC does not provide emergency or crisis services. The website, portal, email, voicemail, and consultation request forms should not be used for emergencies.
If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911, go to the nearest emergency department, or contact a local crisis service.
