Fee Schedule
Consultations – Initial consultations are 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours at the office, including check-out time. We spend time before and after your visit reviewing any past lab work, all paperwork, intake forms and writing treatment plans.
The initial evaluation with Dr. Stein is $1600 ($600 deposit – If you need to cancel your INITIAL appointment for any reason, we will provide a deposit refund with a FULL TWO (2) WEEK notice only if the appointment can be filled by another patient).
This fee includes:
✓ an hour of prep work prior to the meeting
✓ all communications that occur before our first meeting
✓ a 2 hour in-person visit including a full physical exam if and when indicated
✓ 4-5 page written comprehensive individualized treatment plan
✓ six sessions with a health coach between visits with Dr. Stein
Most people require at least four to six follow-ups which are $600 per one hour session.
Dr. Stein can provide an estimate of the number of visits on the Discovery Call by having you complete the Medical Symptom/Toxicity Questionnaire.
Intake & Assessment with April Ritchotte (2 hrs): $600 ($300 deposit – refundable with minimum 2 week notice) and the follow ups are $300 (1 hr).
The initial evaluation with Sally Davidson is $800 ($400 deposit – refundable 2 week minimum notice) and the follow-ups are $400/hr. prorated.
The first appointment deposit is required because we spend a significant amount of time preparing for your visit with us. We have a waiting list for new patients and the deposit guarantees the appointment time is set aside for you.
You will also be responsible for the costs of testing, supplements, and additional supplies. In some cases testing can be a significant expense. Our practitioners are cost conscious and will not recommend testing without a specific indication. As one example, a high quality and reliable stool test can be about $400.
The initial evaluation with Kelly Walker is $600 ($300 deposit – refundable 2 week minimum notice) and the follow-ups are $300/hr. prorated.
Online Services – We provide consultation via secure HIPAA compliant videoconferencing. Beginning in spring 2020 we transitioned to making the primary form of patient interaction virtual and employing in-person visits less frequently.
HealthySelf Bootcamps – Dr. Stein is very excited about offering an affordable group online health coaching program called What If It’s Not Depression? Bootcamp as a companion program to her book.
Insurance
Our practice does not provide an insurance billing service. Insurance policies vary greatly and we cannot say what part of our service, if any, your insurance will cover. We will provide each patient with a receipt that is called a “superbill” by the insurance industry. You can submit this superbill to your insurance carrier and, in most cases, there is some benefit available to you for out-of-network care. The CPT code used for the initial evaluation is “99205 E/M – New Patient Office Visit.” For a follow-up visit the CPT code used for the is “99215 E/M – Established Patients.” It is your responsibility to know what your out-of-network benefits are.
Important exceptions are Medicare and Medicaid for which we are NOT a contracted provider. We have OPTED OUT of Medicare. If you have Medicare and would like services from us, you will need to sign an OPT OUT agreement as required by Medicare.
Insurance Verification Form

(This form is for you, not for us.)
Complete this form by calling your insurance company so that you are fully aware of what your benefits are and to understand the extent of your potential reimbursement of payment for our services. Insurance companies are not equal and some have better benefits than others.
If you have a PPO, you have the option of going to the provider of your choice. Generally, this means that you will need to contribute more for an evaluation from an out-of-network provider. You may be required to contribute 20-40% or more depending on your contract. Your out-of-network deductible also needs to be factored in.
Our focus is on patient relationships rather than insurance requirements. Insurance companies often restrict the level of care or in-person session times, and we believe these restrictions can affect the quality of care. Therefore, our office is out-of-network for all insurance carriers. Payment is expected at the time of the visit. You may not pay in installments but we DO accept Savings Account cards (Health, Medical, Flexible) and credit cards from MasterCard and Visa only. If you have a high deductible insurance plan, consider applying that deductible towards our services.
