New Patient Information

Chesapeake Bay Psychiatry is a small, private psychiatry practice based in Chesapeake, Virginia. Our focus is providing quality care to our patients and being accessible to them when they need us.

Insurance

Chesapeake Bay Psychiatry, LLC is an out-of-network provider and is a self-pay only practice.

Patients are responsible for the full cost of the appointment on the day of service and your insurance provider may or may not offer reimbursement for the appointment fees.

Patients with out-of-network insurance benefits will be provided a super bill upon request to submit for reimbursement.
A super bill is a detailed receipt that includes information insurance companies need to process claims.

We recommend patients confirm with their insurance company if they have out-of-network benefits prior to scheduling an appointment to prevent unplanned expenses.

Medicare & Medicaid Patients: Super bills are not accepted by Medicare or Medicaid.

Good Faith Estimate / No Surprise Act

All patients have the right to get a “Good Faith Estimate” which explains how much your medical care will cost.

Providers and facilities must give you a good faith estimate if you ask for one or when you schedule an item or service. It should include expected charges for the primary item or service you’re receiving, and any other items or services provided as part of the same scheduled, non-emergency experience.

Ensure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.

If you get the bill and the charges from a single provider are at least $400 more than the good faith estimate, you may be eligible to start a patient-provider dispute.

Make sure to keep a copy of your Good Faith Estimate. For further questions and information, you may give us a call at 757-992-9600 or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
