I decided to cancel for now, after I thought it through. I can always make another appointment. I got the price list. He charges in $125 chunks, even if I just have a question about a side effect.
The other reason is pretty basic. If he changes my meds, and something needs tweaking/adjusting on a weekly basis, I can’t afford him. 60 min eval $495. 90 min eval $795. This is also the price he charges for refills and every other visit.
I am a psych nurse and the psychiatrist I work with is really awesome. I’m going to see if she can recommend someone. I’ve been stable on the same meds for 3 yrs and wouldn’t be looking to change anything if I didn’t need to find a new prescriber. I have a 2 month head start too. I won’t go through my insurance company, because of the headache and the fact that most psychiatrists here don’t deal with insurance, but I have my limits. I would pay that much for an eval, but I’m pretty low maintenance and don’t want to have to check my bank balance if I have a side effect question…
