Elevated Psychiatry
Elevated Psychiatry is a private-pay membership practice for adults in California and Hawaiʻi. This page explains what happens from your first booking through ongoing care, and what it costs.
Before you book
We check these before care begins, so they are worth knowing now. If any of them rules you out, contact us and we can help you find an appropriate referral.
You need to be physically located in California or Hawaiʻi at the time of each appointment. Licensing requires it, and we confirm your location at each visit.
We are unable to accept patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, or a combination of Medicare and Medicaid.
We are out-of-network with all commercial insurance plans. Membership is paid directly, and we provide a superbill after each visit that you can submit for possible reimbursement.
The process
Six steps. The first four happen before you are charged for anything beyond your first month.
Three paths, depending on where you are starting. If you are not sure which one applies to you, contact us before booking and we can point you to the right one.
Use the secure booking link for the membership you chose. Appointments are usually available within a week, depending on the schedule in your state.
We check your location, your payer eligibility, and whether the plan you selected suits your situation. If a different plan fits better, we say so before anything begins.
Secure intake forms arrive along with a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs, provided before your first appointment as required by the federal No Surprises Act.
The first appointment runs longer than a standard psychiatric intake. That time goes to understanding what is actually going on.
Membership is ongoing rather than visit-by-visit, so the follow-up is built in.
Choosing a path
Discovery and ADHD Copilot are available at Standard or Concierge level. Mind & Mood has one level.
Available with Discovery and ADHD Copilot. Everything in Standard, plus:
As a Concierge member, we order and interpret your GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing as part of your care. This test is billed through your own insurance, not by us — most patients pay little to nothing, though you may owe a portion if your plan doesn't fully cover it (GeneSight caps patient out-of-pocket at $330).
Medication
Patients prescribed both a stimulant and a benzodiazepine require the Concierge tier. Combination controlled-substance prescribing carries extra monitoring requirements under DEA guidelines. Mind & Mood does not manage controlled substances of any kind.
Cost
After each visit we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer. We work with Reimbursify to keep the submission simple. Many plans with out-of-network mental health benefits reimburse a portion of the visit fee.
Reimbursement is determined solely by your plan and is not guaranteed by Elevated Psychiatry.
Please provide at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Missed appointments and late cancellations may be subject to a fee under the appointment policy provided during intake.
Concierge members receive one no-fee reschedule each month, with any amount of notice.
Current patients keep their existing price and service level unless they choose to move to a new membership.
