I am primarily doing telehealth currently. The initial visit lasts about an hour and the fee is $250. Follow-up visits are about 15 -20 minutes and cost $125. We can spread these follow-up visits out to help with costs. Unfortunately, I don’t accept insurance but can provide a superbill for you to turn into your insurance.
